SWANSON, Glen, (American, 1950-): ''Great Horned'', Patinated Bronze, height 24.5'', signed and numbered 6/45, affixed to 2'' high circular wooden flint. ''Swanson's work includes all types of wildlife, but his specialty is realistic portrayals of birds in flight - `I am fascinated by the action and envy the freedom that birds have in being able to fly'. The media Glenn works in may vary from one project to the next. Although the majority of his work is cast in bronze, he also does woodcarvings, paints in oil and sometimes combines painting and sculpture into exciting new formats.'' - from www.glennswansonart.com.
