This bronze sculpture of Windsor Ford was commissioned by his wife, June, after he had passed away.  I had to rely on photographs of him, and thankfully, she had lots of pictures for me to work with. Along with talking to June, and his friends, I was able to do a portrait that would do him justice.

The true test was when Windsors best friend of many, many years, Fritz, came in to my studio, saw the sculpture, and started to caress it and cry.  I knew then, that I had captured his essence. It was the best compliment that I could ever ask for.

. Windsor was cremated, and his ashes were put in an urn, and then in a vault, in the ground, on a bird hunting preserve that they both owned. Mrs.Ford wanted the bronze to be put there as a memorial to her late husband.

He loved his wire-haired pointers, and would often just take walks with them on the preserve.  That is how he is depicted here, which is what June wanted.

When she moved away to another state, we mounted the bronze on a mahogany base, and she took it with her to put in her new home.
