Paul Brunelle's "Goldfinches" original hand painted wood carving. This stunning carving is of two goldfinches perched on a branch, with two carved flowers. There has been an exceptional amount of detail put into this carving. The colours Brunelle has used in this carving are bright and vivid, and it has been mounted on a wooden base.

Paul Brunelle, born in 1954 in Campbellford Ontario, Canada, has been fascinated with art since he completed his first oil painting at age twelve. He has continued painting and drawing and began to sculpt in 1985. Paul describes clay as having essential qualities needed to create his art. In its pliable state, clay can be quickly sketched to capture attitudes and expressions, as well as designs and compositions. The clay can then be allowed to dry to the point when you can carve the surface detail of feathers and a variety of textures. The sculpture is then dried and kiln fired to the permanence of stone. His sculptures are made of clay, the water based kind that potters use. The clay can be modeled into an endless variety of surfaces depending on the moisture content before firing. It is responsive and direct to the touch and is capable of capturing a fresh expression of the subject and of recording the finest detail when required. When it is fired it hardens to the permanent quality that can be observed in the many existing sculptures of antiquity. Onto the fired clay surface he paints with oil colours on the birds and acrylic on the branches and other settings.
