Such a gorgeous expression in this latest piece by Bear (Doug) Horne from the North American, Tsawout/Coast Salish First Nation. -

I want to take the opportunity to congratulate Bear on his latest accomplishment: He designed the new badge for the Saanich Police Department (I'm enclosing a picture...) 

3D Heron Sculpture

Bear used an absolutely clean and gorgeous solid piece of bass wood - hand painted in a soft blue, so beautiful. The sculpture is sanded all around, but you can still see the knife marks which shows the craftsmanship, talent and patience the artist has. He clearly loves this art and always proves it by clean and deep and precise carving lines. This is difficult to carve and Bear just mastered it - fabulous! He signed it underneath. I'll let the images speak for themselves. 

Please have a look at the expression, it's so elegant and graceful!!

Measurements: 21 1/2" x 6" x 4"

Meaning: In the native culture of the Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations, the Heron is known to be a “lucky charm” for successful fishing. He is a symbol of grace, elegance, patience and good luck. At the same time Heron’s are known to be loner and in some tribes are associated with weakness for flattery and vanity
