Brick layer is finished

The light was not ideal for taking photos, yesterday. After a long wait for a cloud to finally slide in front of the sun (why isn't there any wind when you need it?) at a quarter past six I finally just cycled home. I hope I can make some better pics in the next few days, however, here goes: my statuette of the street worker is finished.

I've carved it largely in the direct carving style, in other words, without too much measuring. After initially having made a clay model and a saw model in preparation, I carved the rest largely by eye.

The figurine is carved out of dolomite and is about 80 cms tall. On the surface I left a plain chisel's marks and finished the footplate with a toothed chisel's marks. The client is planning to make himself a base for it out of paving bricks.

Update: better pictures. It was pretty late in the evening, but the light was good, so here it is: new photos
