PAST Sculptures in progress

Titanic sculptor Alan St. George uses a magnifier to detail a cherub's head on the crowning piece of the the Grand Staircase clock architectural surround

The crowning piece of the large architectural surround nears completion in July 2016. Alan St. George uses a magnifier to detail a final element...one of the cherub capitals. . Photo references include shots taken by Mr. Daniel Smith of the UK. Mr. Smith photographed the RMS Olympic's  "Honour and Glory Crowning Time" at Southampton's Sea City Museum. A special 'thanks' to Mr. Smith for his work which has been invaluable to this project. The Olympic's clock in its present state has many layers of paint, so it is important to also use photos circa 1910 sans  paint. Since no light is better than daylight for detail work of this kind, and it is a lovely season, sculpting is being done on the front porch of the sculptor's home:  Havencrest Castle.

Titanic sculptor Alan St George works on his Grand Staircase Cherub pedestal. Carving out a great day with some of his favorite things: My dogs, my front porch, coffee, and making a new sculpture.

Carving out a great day...

Spending time on the front porch with my dogs on a beautiful day working on a new Titanic replica sculpture. Blessed!

Each side of the Titanic cherub pedestal has a different grouping of fruits, vegetables, and flowers as on the original RMS Titanic/Olympic.

Each side a different carving

A unique arrangement of fruits, flowers, and vegetables on all sides...just like the pedestals and newel posts on RMS Titanic/Olympic. Historical note: There were over 200 unique newel post facings on each of the sister ships!
