Default "Emily", a wood sculpture
"Emily", a wood sculpture by R. Wolf, Australia
Material: Lime
Size: 3" tall

This lovely lady has been captured during a moment of sheer wanton exuberance, kneeling at ease and feeling the earth beneath her, the sky above and her place in it.

She was hand carved with knife and gouge in Lime wood and finished with oil for a deep colour and lovely tones. Measuring 3" tall, she has long hair, a lush, full body and her face is lifted to the heavens.

This is my first piece carved in Australia
