I love this little house. It has been under renovation for some time. The house was already a beautiful and charming little house and yet the addition has been done in a careful way without sacrificing any of the original charactor.  My hats off to the owners and the builders who carried out the work. A job well done.

Sculpture below: “Sanctuary of Peace” Sidney BC

Stainless Steel

23feet tall by thirty inches at the base aprox.

This new scupture has  been installed in Sidney, BC., Canada., where it will be on exhibit for two years. (we expect to then move it to the Peace Sanctuary Sculpture Park.)
It sits at the end of Beacon avenue down by the water.
The sculpture is twenty three feet tall and is made of stainless steel.
It is a collaborative effort by both of us but on this one I have to give Samuel most of the credit for the design.
