"Gethsemane"

The slightly larger than life-size bronze of Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, was commissioned for the prayer garden of North Greenville College in Tigerville, South Carolina. The clay form, pictured here, was taken to the foundry August 5, 2004.

The lighter colored clay is softer and is the clay that was used in the creation of the "Shoeless Joe" statue. The darker clay is a medium clay. Using the softer clay for all flesh areas and the medium clay for the clothing created the even more life-like clay figure shown. The bronze figure, however, was covered in the same patina over the entire piece.
