ANNIVERSARY DINNER
An old married couple who have been together for a long
time and are holding hands while the waiter takes their order. |
APPLAUDING PROGRESS
Sol does a lot of his sculpting at the Veterans Administration
in New York City. He sees a lot of pain and grief, but he was able to
capture a moment in a veteran's life where definite progress was being
made. This man has been in a wheelchair for a while and with therapy,
he is now able to walk with crutches, while a nurse is standing by encouraging
him in his efforts. |
BALLET DANCERS
This sculpture is owned by an occupational therapist who
worked at the Veterans Administration. She told Sol how much she loved
the ballet, and in appreciation for all her help and encouragement, he
created this piece for her. He even attended the ballet so that he could
get some perspective on the dancers. It is a departure for Sol. |
DON'T FIGHT
A child is caught between his mother and father as
they battle it out. We could have wished that they would argue outside
of his hearing, but how many times do tempers flare, and how many times
do innocents get hurt? The little boy is trying to make peace between
the two combatants, with very little success. |
DRESSING UP
A fun moment in the life of a little girl;
putting on her mothers clothing, shoes and hat, and looking at her finery
in the mirror. |
FEEDING THE CAT
Sol captures an everyday event where his wife is feeding
one of their pets. |
FLYING A KITE
Carved and painted wood. The kite string is
made of flexible wire and when touched, the kite reacts like a mobile.

FRED'S DOG HOUSE
A friend of Sol's had two dogs, Fred and Lucy, both
females. Fred was a character because when she wasn't eating, she had
a tennis ball in her mouth at all times. You were expected to throw the
ball so that she could fetch it and bring it back, so that you could throw
it, so that she could fetch it, etc. She could do this all day. Sol created
this sculpture where a young boy is building a house for Fred, and Fred
has given up her beloved ball in favor of the hammer, the dog house being
her priority at the moment. |
