With the unbearable Texas heat right now, it has chased me from my shop. Thus I decided to work on another bronze sculpture I’ve been thinking about. It is a replica of a cape buff bull I killed last year in Zim. It’s standing in shallow water about to head out, or at something . After taking a few pics last night, I see I still need to work on the ears and one hoof but it’s 95% done. It’s in clay and will have to be molded before a bronze can be poured.
 
Oops. picture got hung up on phone I guess. My cell service is crap today. I'll try again.

Just kidding. ;) Very much looking forward to seeing it.
 
That is awesome! I look forward to seeing it finished! You are talented Sir!
 
Fantastic!
 
This is talent in its purest form. Ever given any thought to making multiple to sell?
I would of course but this is only my sixth attempt. I don’t have much of a catalog :giggle:.
 
I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. It’s really a budding hobby at this point.
 
Thanks guys. I'm letting it sit a few more days to see if anything else hits me on it before I take it to be molded for the bronze process. I added texture to his nose and a few small wrinkles behind his nose pad. Also beefed up his upper lip line to give it more sag over the lower lip. A wise man once told me, "You have to live with it being finished at some point or it will never be finished" :)

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
