A cross for my Dad's favorite aunt . It's now at the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania with my father's cross.
Great work, Dave, and a wonderful tribute to your kin. Yes, the elements do take their toll. Hope all is well. :)
Artist Reply: Thank you Charles . I believe I protected it well enough but since then discovered s deck stain that works too, possibly better. Hope your having a good evening : )
Artist Reply: Thank you so very much Joanie ! My Dad really loved his aunt Josephine and so did the rest of our family. She would of been so happy it's in Lithuania : )
