Eagle atop a carved sculpture. Port Perry, Ontario
The EAGLE proudly sits on its nest. Originally a white ash tree on a main street, this sculpture was carved by wildlife sculptor Adam Connolly who said "I hope it [the sculpture] allows people to have a better understanding of nature, the arts, and the preservation of our heritage."
And to see what is carved below the EAGLE scroll down...
Bits and pieces of the sculpture in mosaic form
and see the rest of the sculpture as a mosaic. And then scroll down a bit more...

Very nice. I think I like the heron's on the stump almost better than the Eagle---well not really I guess I like the whole thing. Nice find. MB

It is so amazing to see a tree saved and used as an art object rather than cut down to the ground and used for firewood. Beautiful carving by a talented artist. Thanks for sharing!

This is so cool! I am wondering what tools are used to carve. Do you know?
ReplyDeleteWOW EG. This is an amazing sculpture including two of my favorite birds. Great captures. Love the mosaic you created.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is so amazing that someone can look at a piece of wood and see that. Me, I look at a piece of wood and think how many smores I could make from its' flames. Love the pics!

oh. I love this. The sculpture is lovely and I also like the tree the artist had chosen for this piece.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it.
=)
That is so amazing! How one earth can anyone carve like that?
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful carving. I tried my hand once at carving balsa wood with a small chisel. After about 8 stitches and 2 hours at the emergency room I recognized it might not be my true calling.
ReplyDeleteThis artist is truly a master, though and I suspect he uses some big old chisels to create this amazing work.
Thanks for sharing this lovely post with us on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday.

This sculpture is absolutely magnificent -- and beautiful.
