Congratulations to Brenda Bowlby
of Colorado the sculpture winner!!!!!
Through the generosity of artist, Paula Waterman and private donations, the Foundation is offering as our major 2008-2009 fundraiser, this beautiful BRONZE SCULPTURE raffle!
All proceeds generated from this major raffle will benefit the USASF's (Roger McKay Memorial) Health and Genetics Fund. This Fund will directly support Australian Shepherd research projects.
From the artist: "I started this sculpture at the 2007 National Specialty at Purina Farms, with the idea of trying to depict the archetypical Australian Shepherd. As I formed the basic shapes I was able to get the guidance of some of our most respected breeders and to observe first-hand some of the best the breed has to offer while working the clay. The result, completed at my home studio, is cast in bronze, using the classic lost-wax method of casting metal sculpture, and is finished with a classic bronze patina."
