The new California Gray Whale set (Mother/Calf) is a must for any whale enthusiast. It is a great new whale set featuring gray staining on the top portion of the whale and white stained underside.
This is a very free flowing design and will look great on your wall. The piece is copyrighted and signed by the artist.
It includes hangers on the reverse, ready for wall mounting. Also included with all pieces is a neat signed Authenticity Certificate and artist bio sheet.
If you are looking for something really cool for a large space on your wall or over a couch/fireplace, why not bring in some cetacean art into your home.
The whales are available swimming left or right as you view them on the wall.
Richard ships via UPS ground insured constructing a strong wooden sided box with top/bottom wood ribbing covered in heavy cardboard so your whales arrive safely.
-maybe a set will be swimming your way...
Additionally, check out this beautiful " Free Standing" Orangutan Sculpture holding a manila rope. I worked from photos of orangutans at the San Diego Zoo to create this "one of a kind" piece.
It measures about 30" high with a base size of 14 x 21" x 3" thick. I also used 5 coats of hand rubbed tung oil for the finish giving it a deep luste finish on the Honduras mahogany with a nice patina.. Under the base is green felt.
.
It is an outstanding piece of work taking several months to complete.
The work is signed and copyrighted. It is ready to ship.
If a sea theme is more to your liking, the vast array of sea birds and other creatures also make great displays...
- shipping free within the U.S. mainland...sculptures go out via UPS ground insured...in a custom made box....
For indoor display only, signed and copyrighted.
Please Note: All original wall sculptures listed on the site may have previously sold..If the carving has already sold when you order, Richard will carve you a piece with all the color, texture, grain, and personality of the original work...thanks
The artist has been carving/sculpting over 25+ years creating a style far different from other carvers out there..
.With a really great drawing background I am able to incorporate the drawing into the piece, giving it a very unique look..

5 out of 5 starsThe Moorish Idol carving is stunning! I am so pleased with the workmanship and attention to detail. It was delivered quickly. It was packaged so that no matter what the shipping company could have done to the package, the piece could not have been damaged. We are so pleased.

5 out of 5 starsI love my whale. I have not hung it up yet and I wanted to post a picture. So hopefully if I write this now I can add a picture later. It is very sturdy and I love the detail and looks like the posting.

5 out of 5 starsThe owl flew here in perfect condition. The seller shipped him in a timely manner, and he was packaged exceptionally well. The owl is a very unique piece! Thank you Richard.

5 out of 5 starsThe item is beautiful! I'm excited for my husband (an ex-marine biologist who studied sea otters) to open it on Christmas and enjoy it hanging on his office wall.

5 out of 5 starsAfter I purchased the large whale, realized I had more room on the wall so I ordered the baby calf. The workmanship and detail was as on point as the large one. Richard is an ahhhhmazing, very talented artist. You will never regret purchasing one of pieces, I guarantee! Thank you again Richard for Your kindness and sharing your wonderful talent and for the opportunity to purchase the baby calf!!! WE LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!
