[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4329946, member: 1136"]Just talking it out and comparing his works, here is an example of each, one in limestone, the other granite. It seems as if his works in limestone have a "polished" finish, while the granite is left with a rougher finish. [ATTACH=full]355968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]355969[/ATTACH] I've contacted the gallery which held the exhibition on hopes they might have it archived, but since these pictures have been up for sale, I dont hold much hope. The Smithsonian got back in touch with me, but only has a collection of paintings and suggested I go to the library for art books, but :rolleyes: I live in a very rural area, art is not much on the agenda. I looked through the online catalog and didn't see any of the types of books they suggested, but I'll probably give them a call to double check.
