Mystic Dove Juggler

“Mystic Dove Juggler" - This was a salvaged piece of driftwood that was floating down the river -my wife collects them to burn beach fires in the winter.  I liked the way it looked and added it to my "Not To Burn" pile.  The stance and arms evolved and I was studying jesters.  Like jokers at the time, I wanted him juggling something.  I tried balls and other things and came up with the doves.  One summer wrens built a small nest inside him while it was in the corner of my workshop and raised babies.  So I guess nature approved of my art!  Carved wood and fiberglass. Life size.
