It's all about Dawn...

I got email today from one of the Galleries that display Dawns Bronzes and probably has 12 pieces of her work. They are having a show at the Chisholm Pine Plains Gallery located in the Middle of Horse Country in New York State of Dawns work and needed some photos for the press. I sent them off but figured that I would post them here since this is going to be the first time on this site I have posted about Dawns work. I am partners with Dawn Hardy in her business which is sculpting of horses, people and other animals which end up cast in Bronze. She is one of the top living artists in the world doing "Sporting Art" and has been commissioned by some of the top names in the world such as Bertram Firestone, Ogdan Phipps, Hunter Harrison and many other people who are household names in the Sporting Scene around the world. She is in many museums in their permanent collection and her work has been on the front page of many Sporting Magazines. I handle the business end of the business including sales, marketing and even editing on the art side. Selling her work is like taking candy from a baby. All I have to do is show her work and people fall all over themselves to aquire it for themselves or their galleries to display. Below is some of her newest works just out of the Foundry in the last 90 days. Name of this piece is First Love. Little girl is hugging her pony and we are not quite sure if the pony's first love is the carrot in her back pocket. This is signed and numbered edition of 27 pieces. Several have already sold and I have only this sample out of the foundry so far. This piece was inspired from a real life happening in the Dominican Republic at the Sea Horse Ranch Stables.

This is a sculpture that was commissioned by her owners Hunter Harrison and his wife of Double H Stables. She took Gold in the Olympics in Athens in 2004.

This is a sculpture of a working Burro in the Dominican Republic. Sculpted from real life and further work from Pictures. This is a signed limited edition of 27 pieces. Again this is the first piece out of the foundry and 2 have already been ordered by collectors. The name of this piece is Trabajo Manana which in Dominican means maybe Never:)

This is a Champion Paso Fino Stallion that is currently stabled on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic in Cabarete in Sea Horse Ranch Stables and owned by Bill Kirkman who was the developer of Sea Horse Ranch. This piece is signed and numbered edition of 27. 3 of these have already been sold to collectors but this is the only piece out of the foundry and was only finished recently. The name of this piece is Paso Fino.

When Dawn originally worked on this horse it was done from life. This particular horse is a stallion in every sense of the word and is also very kind.

I originally thought that this particular piece which is not a sporting breed would take a long time to sell. I didn't care if it took 3 years or more to sell out the edition. People love the movement so much that they have both purchased and expressed a lot of interest in the piece. I am now pretty confident that this edition will sell out in the first year.

We plan on bringing out fabulous works of many different breeds in the next year and again out of the sporting venue where she is best known.

I will be in Florida for the Horse Circuit and to do business with Dawns work. We have collectors of her work that buy everything she does and I plan on showing these pieces to them as I am sure they will buy them all. We have numbers reserved for collectors that purchase her works and they get the first shot at these pieces in the numbers they collect.

These editions are all of 27 in honor of Dominican Independence Day which is the 27th of February. These pieces were all inspired and sculpted in the Dominican Republic on the North Coast in Sosua/Cabarete where Dawn Hardy now resides.

Hasta Pronto!
