Greg Peltzer Open Edition Sculpture: "Level Headed Ram - Bighorn Sheep"
Artist: Greg Peltzer
Title: Level Headed - Bighorn Sheep
Edition Size: Open
Medium: Sculpture
About the Art: Bighorn sheep are named for their large, curved horns. Unlike species of deer, bighorn sheep retain their horns year-round without shedding them. Their physical adaptations protect their brain during massive impacts in which dominance is established amongst males for breeding rights. Females (ewes) also grow horns, but they exhibit less curvature and are shorter. Cold cast and hand painted in fine detail. 10"H.
Drawing and painting dominated Greg's early years, and as a teen, he picked up his fathers carving tools and began carving decoys. His love for birds was evident, when at fifteen he began developing his skills in the taxidermy field. Sound anatomy comes from his background as a master taxidermist.His sculpting abilities come from years of carving wood and in recent years his bronze sculptures. Greg's sculptures command your attention, while their attitude and expressions hold you in the moment as if you were in the wild yourself
