Bronze Sculpture 1980 "Lane Ganeway" by Derek Wernher

This is one of the popular Sculptures in Brookgreen Gardens. Many

people get their photo taken beside this realistic old man sitting on

this bench reading the newspaper. It is a Bronze Sculpture

titled 'Lane Ganeway' who was an editor of the newspaper the man

is holding, as seen by Artist Derek Wernher.

By painting in the warm afternoon light, you have given life to this stone statue, That is entirely to your credit.

Nicely done.  Good comp and light.

Very well done Gail, I love the light and the composition.

BR, Holger

thank you so much - the image certainly needed a bit of brightening and there was a hint of sunshine from this direction....thanks so much for your thoughts shared!

Nice shot. I though it was an uncle of mine. Guess not!!

well if it was your uncle..............he has been out in the sun far too long LOL.....thanks Warren :)

Gail,

  Wonderful image with beautiful colors & lighting.  Take care, Patsy

Best, Tina

Gail, there is a hospital near me that features sculptures of people sitting in their beautiful waiting area, outside on a bench, in various places by the roaring fire place and plush seating.  While inside, aides run away when a bed pan is needed or a patient can only eat if an aide moves the tray within his or her reach....

My sincere thanks to all who have dropped by for a visit. I hope to catch up with my replies very soon.

The golden light is most appealing as if the light of wisdom and words of truth wash over him.

All the best,

 

 

I'm not quite sure how I missed this one!

It has a real aura of comfort and reassurance about it. I love the warm light that is so becoming and the softness of the background. Very well done Gail!

An amazing statue which resonates with me deeply as I get emotional with the statue of The Bride girl in Savannah Georgia, in November 2016. She is in the cover of the book In the garden of Good and evil......Warm regards .

many thanks Alf and Tony for your visits and encouraging comments. I am still lost on this site, but hopefully I will get the hang of it soon :) Gail

Thank you Jorge. As I recall, the 'Bird Girl' had to be removed from Bonaventure Cemetery due to 'her' rise to fame after the book became popular. She adorned the cover and I have to say I also was drawn to the sculpture. It is a shame that people started to vandalise the stone, chipping off small pieces to keep for their own. Good to know she is now finally safe in the Jepsen Centre for the Arts in Savannah. My sincere thanks for stopping by Jorge.

Wonderful, I wonder was he was reading that he froze forever. Congrats, dear Gail.

dearest Mari............. :) I don not know what made him freeze over :) it should have been today's headlines!!! thank you for your visit my friend.

Hi Gail, this could almost be a living statue as it's so realistic! Beautifully captured and a wonderful piece of sculpture. Best wishes. Sarah.
