Magnificent Lines!

Malito has utilized a fetching collection of squares in order to carve Baloo, his medium sized Walking bear.

Baloo's ears are thick pyramids, not the traditional small round ear.

His muzzle is a concoction of straight lines and acute angles.

Can you discover other features that are more linear than most?

I love Malito's interpretation of the bear.

Baloo is a magnificent specimen. 

His ample rounded haunches and thick muscular legs scream STRENGTH.

The apple green colour stone is one of my favourites.

It is fresh and reveals all the details in the carving.

Do you enjoy interpreting a piece or do you prefer you sculptures to be obvious in their intent?

Baloo is a unique Walking bear who has just entered your stratosphere.
