Doug prefers to create monument sculptures that are life plus 1/4 in size, especially if they are to be placed outdoors, because a smaller scale can get lost in the expanse of the out-of-doors. Exceptions would be if the subject is especially large like the dinosaurs or the elephant, which he is doing now that is 13’ at the shoulders, or if the project is commissioned life-size for a purpose. Doug’s monument sculptures are as lifelike in detail and as full of movement as his small sculptures, making them very special. Doug has created bronze monuments for many purposes such as estate landscape art, schools, museums, hotels, airports and business complexes, throughout the world ~ the finest available in outdoor art.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/793710558027541716-8444602309085975346?l=www.bestbronzesculptures.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.bestbronzesculptures.com/2010/02/what-is-best-size-for-bronze-monument.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Katrina)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793710558027541716.post-5737007786772867479</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-25T13:27:56.912-08:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Van Howd Master Sculptor</category><title>Van Howd Master Sculptor &amp; Painter</title><description>Doug Van Howd has been commissioned to do work for heads of countries.&amp;nbsp; His oil painting of Yellowstone Falls was presented to the Queen of the Netherlands during the Netherlands-American Bicentennial celebrations in Washington DC.&amp;nbsp; He has twice been received as a guest of the government of Taiwan to present his works to President Chiang Ching-Kuo and President Lee Teng-hui.&amp;nbsp; His bald eagle "Masters of the Wind" is displayed in the office of the Secretary of the Interior, Washington DC, his portrait of Attorney General Edwin Meece hangs in the Hall of Justice, and his well-known "Friends of Freedom" bronze sculpture, after many years in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, has a new home in the Reagan Library.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/793710558027541716-5737007786772867479?l=www.bestbronzesculptures.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.bestbronzesculptures.com/2010/02/van-howd-master-sculptor-painter.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Katrina)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
