LIKE FATHER LIKE
SON
A man is sculpting his dog, who is posing on the stump
of a tree. His son, holding a piece of wood, is going to try to copy what
his father has done. If, in truth, this is autobiogrpahical, the little
boy will far surpass the father's efforts. |
LUCY IN MOURNING
When Fred died (See Fred's Dog House) , something
very precious went out of all of our lives. Lucy felt is most of all.
This sculpture shows Lucy kneeling in front of Fred's tombstone, with
a tennis ball in her mouth. |
MEMORIES
A woman is going about her chores, cleaning house, when
she comes upon photographs of her family, which stops her in her tracks.
It's nostalgia time. |
NEEDS MORE SALT
This was a wedding present to Sol's new sister-in-law,
who is a very good cook. The woman is standing over a stove, on which
there are a series of pots - all cooking something wonderful. To her discerning
taste, salt must be added to what she is tasting, to make it even more
fantastic. |
QUIET TIMES
A man and his wife are sharing the peace of being
married for a long time and not needing to talk - but just bask in each
other's company. A very content moment. 14"H x 14.5"W x 10"D. Carved and
painted wood. Circa 1981. |
READING FROM THE TORAH
A boy reading from the Torah in the Bar Mitzvah ceremony. |
SEE HOW STRONG
I AM
A proud moment in the life of any boy; showing Dad his muscles.

SIZE 12
This sculpture depicts another triumph in which
Sol shared his wife's joy. After she lost a lot of weight, she was able
to get into a Size 12, and this shows a trip to the store, with a rack
of Size 12 dresses - trying them all on, and Sol showing his appreciation
for the feat she has accomplished. It was a great day for both of them.
