“beloved by my family!”

This sculpture was a gift to my parents, and it is displayed as a focal point in their home, along with another of John Barrow's pieces depicting the holy family. Thank you for your most beautiful work!, I am so pleased to have been able to share it with my parents and extended family.

“I always love John Barrows birds!”

I have several pieces from John Barrow, including every piece Ive seen by him featuring brightly colored birds. Im always watching for when he puts out a new colorful pieces featuring birds, and this was the first Ive seen in a while. I love birds, and the mosaic sculptures he makes are a really great fit when they are colorful. They also have a really nice aromatic smell to them which I think is the wood he uses—Ive noticed that smell in Sugos work (also a woodcarver from the Andes) as well.
