Welcome Tammy!
Thanks for your comprehensive and insightful introduction. Your portraits are stunning and you will really shine here. I look forward to your posts.
I sculpted a rather clunky looking horse compared to those you've illustrated. Fifteen years ago it was billed as the world's largest bronze equestrian monument. In it's current guise, it stands unveiled in Milan, Italy, and is meant to complete the Sforza commission Leonardo da Vinci commenced in the 1480's, but lost uncompleted for five centuries in 1501.
There is a glimpse of it here in my intro.
