"Calvin and his Gibson Guitar"


Sculptor:  Jenelle Armstrong Byrd

Edition:  Signed, limited edition
Medium:  Clay to be cast in bronze on walnut base

Size:  10" high

 

Sculpted on the occasion of my father’s 90th birthday, Calvin and his Gibson Guitar will be a limited edition of 36 sculptures in bronze.  He was playing his pre-war Gibson accoustic guitar that he played for about 50 years.  The chair he sits (not pictured here)  on will also be vintage--a Metalform desk chair from the 50’s.  This year he will be 94, but has the strength of a young weightlifter, and still plays guitar “for the old folks”.
