Swiss Dragon

A Cincinnati/Morrow, Ohio Sculpture

I created this bronze sculpture of dignified and watchful dragon, with the Swiss cross on his shield (to honor my client's Swiss heritage) and with one of the four claws on his left hand missing (to represent and honor the memory of a deceased son) to guard the courtyard of a family residence in Morrow, Ohio.  I enjoyed "inventing"an imaginary animal, yet making it anatomically correct.  My favorite part of the sculpting was creating the journey of the long tail as it wraps its way around the figure.
