Recumbent Stag, Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, MO

I have always liked the pair of elegant stag sculptures that flank the Magnolia entrance to Tower Grove Park. I spent about an hour doing this small watercolor sketch of one of them last weekend partly because Vlad Zhitomirsky, the sculptor who repaired this storm-damaged piece, will speak about his work with the VMD Sculpting Studio this Thurs, 7pm, at the Artisans' section meeting at the Saint Louis Artists' Guild.

More about VMD Sculpting here. I have posted another watercolor sketch from Tower Grove Park done the same day at Sketching St. Louis.
