Ornamental-Iron.com Gallery - Bronze sculpture _ California Gray whale

RECENT SCULPTURE IMAGES - commissions of Eileen Webb a Los Angeles based designer & fabricator of original art:

"NESSIE" - from behind fluke at oblique angle - bottom of whale. Limited bronze sculpture edition - Named by the artist for its arching vertical rentry posture, cetacean sculpture is in the process of resubmerging after a breaching skyhop motion. The bronze whale was developed as project maquette originally sculptured from Roman Plastilina at 1'' to a foot or 8.3% scale. Designed for a full scale public art piece to be located at the Point Fermin - Sunken City lookout at the end of Pacific Avenue in San Pedro, California, the artist resculpted the piece in wax for investment ( lost wax ) casting of the smaller scale piece. Just two blocks from the artist home & studio, the proposed location of the large sculpture is a favorite spot for local residents and tourists alike.

This table top size sculpture is accurate scale of 1'' = 1' - 0'', Dimensions: 8'' tall, 11'' long, 3'' wide without a conventional base - so that a flat surface becomes the replacement surface for its marine habitat. The actual escharichtius robustus pictured would be 38 feet long, and a dramatic 8 feet tall and 11 feet long. The prominent knuckles that make California gray whales easily discernable replace the dorsal fin found in all other whale species. The California Grey Whale - (species) Eschrichtius robustus migrates each year from the chilly Pacific waters off the Alaskan coast to the warm nursery waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Scowman's Lagoon.
