Artist Comment

Bill Prickett says "I have spent many hours watching Peregrine Falcon, both in the air and at rest. This sculpture shows the Raptor in one of its quieter moments".The Bird of Prey is mounted on a black granite base.The original sculpture (sold), was Carved from a single piece of lime wood and took several months to complete. The wood had to be carved very finely and was pushed to the limit - it was transparent on the "preened feather" and was as thin as it could go without actually breaking. Carving from one piece, so no mistakes can be made, is a challenge which I enjoy. (This Bronze won the "Best Sculpture" award at the International Festival of Falconry, held this time in Abu Dhabi (Dec 2011). It was picked from a field of international artists

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
