Stately Stanley, by Douglas Walker

This sculpture is my first venture into the human form. Imagine Stanley as a fun loving and somewhat bizarre inn keeper, who is waiting to fulfill the every need of his guests. With an owl family in one hand and a lonely cat in the other, Stanley makes his way through the garden, muttering to himself about the price of cumquats in Brazil.
