Chris and Jim, Thankyou!
Jim, I would like to think our paths have crossed, but if they have not, perhaps they will. I am frequently in Reading, which is half way to your studio.
What year did you visit Capt. Dent"s Dome (Leonardo da Vinci's Horse, Inc.)? I finished there in May, 1991, but it had been my home and studio for three years, as I sculpted the Horse. I really felt like I was time travelling to the 15th century in there. There were over 800 small Italian bronze figurines on display, and tidbits and scraps of such painters as Manet and Cezanne on the walls (for those who were never there, the "Dome" was a scaled down Roman Pantheon, with an oculus at the top as the only source of natural light). All of it is gone now, save the shell of the Dome.
The Horse I sculpted mainly survives in photographs now. Here's a pic from May, 1991 when (imho) it looked it's best:
