KING OF THE CASTLE – Life-size Parsons Terrier
This little fellow was a pleasure to sculpt to create an indoor or outdoor bronze animal dog sculpture. It was a commission of a lovely Parsons Terrier, who was small but bursting with character and charm.
As with all my commissions, I began with a small maquette in wax of the Parsons Terrier, and then scaled him up and built an armature of a life-size dog for this terrier breed. I worked with clay, and built a sturdy looking body, but struggled with the head – often decapitating him and beginning again a number of times. My model was a wire-haired Parsons, so his face was not clean cut like many short haired dogs, and he did have a rather unique look which I tried to capture, without loosing the overall feeling of a terrier! Because he had sadly died, I had to borrow another Terrier who would often run around my studio, never standing still, and playing with my dogs outside as I continued to sculpt this animal in clay. Not a very good model for a bronze sculpture, as they never stand still! But his character shone through which I loved. I had to include the tilt of the head to one side, which Terriers often portray when they are engaged with you but perhaps don’t fully understand the human command.
This bronze dog sculpture can be kept outside, or inside and can be placed on a plinth so he can be viewed at eye level which gives a stronger impact to the viewer.
