Item Details
Gerald Heffernon's "The Picnic" (bronze sculptures; 36" x 140") is based on classic genre of 18th-century, European paintings about picnic themes. Instead of humans, it features four, elegant, bronze dogs lounging on a large, flat boulder as they enjoy a relaxed picnic.
Heffernon's work mainly depicts animals, most of his sculptures are made of bronze. He also works with concrete, granite and aluminum and has created suspended sculptures, paintings and other wall-mounted works. “Many of my pieces are whimsical. I like a playful, rather upbeat approach” he says.
