Heidi,
I'm increasingly amazed at your sculpures, they have an old school quality to them that is so pleasing to look at. I particularly like the patina on this one, and it must be an imposing figure to see. Did you talk to it like it was your husband in the flesh while you were doing it? I've drawn and painted mine many times and I always end up telling him all kinds of things I might not normally say.
