The grumpy bull has been divided up into sections, rather like those charts of best meats you get in the butchers! Waste moulds have been made and taken to the workshops of Richard Clarke – where upon a fibreglass replica is in progress – colored to look loke a rich brown black bronze!
There is a substantial amount of metal inside to make sure he will not fall on top of anyone walking below when he is put up on his pedastal in Morpeth in October! I have everything crossed that the corresponding locating plates are in the right place and distance apart – so that the bull’s feet will fit perfectly.
This is the nerve wracking bit of the whole operation – Will he look as good as he did in clay and will his feet fit the ‘glass’slippers! I will let you know.
Just got back from Newmarket – I have been selecting and helping hang the Society of Equestrian artists exhibition at the Palace House Stables starting next week. It is worth a good look and perhaps start your own collection of Equestrain Art.
