  • Doddington Hall sculptures

    Each year, around this time, Doddington Hall, near Lincoln, has a sculpture show with work exhibited outdoors and indoors. Generally there are around 300 piececs to look at. Most are for sale with prices running from £50 or so up to £25K (according to another visitor who bought a catalogue).

    I went there today and here are some of the offerings - the show finishes this weekend. Warning - picture heavy - Sorry .

    The above was terrible for contrast range. Tried to even things out, but not very successful. ONE figure is not a sculpture.

    The last three are from the stable block. This held the smaller pieces, with height ranging from an inch or two up to a three feet or so.

    The Nutty Woman. Yes, made up of hundreds of nuts and pieces of chain. Anyone want to try counting them all ?

    The images from the stable block have had the backgrounds reduced to plain as they were all messy.

    All images are at least 75% crop up to full size. Cropped to remove distractions etc.

    All comments welcome. Enjoy the pictures - I have plenty more !

              Mods: Just a check - my last couple of posts have had a large number of images and I am not sure if this is the right place to do this.

              Q. Should I just post one or two images and then a link to a gallery (have we still got galleries ?) for more ?
              Q2. Is there a different forum section I should be using ?

              Sorry - just asking for peace of mind.
