When Taylor Herrick first told me what he had in mind for this piece, I was excited because I saw the possibility for a beautiful sculpture. I am grateful for the generous help of longtime champion Golden breeder, Elaine Brent and was able to model this relaxed position directly in wax, in 1:4 Scale, based on her girl, Peaches, while retaining the look of Taylor's Madison. Elaine helped me from pictures I emailed to her. I have yet to see a picture of Peaches. Merry Sunshine is sized to perfectly fit on a desk, windowsill, tabletop, or wherever it may please you. Merry Sunshine was first seen in the 2011 American Women Artists show at Huff Harrington Fine Art, Atlanta, GA. Each is made by hand in Colorado, USA . Each is signed, numbered and includes my mark, JKB. Enjoy!
