A Commission of a snapping turtle began for a
client, who lived on Turtle Lake. The craftsman, Roger Loyson, then had to
plan what material to use, how large would this turtle be, should this be
abstract or closer to the real creature? Thus began an "education" about
the last dinosaur! The project would span over a years time with 450 hours
of hands-on work and some sleepless nights!!

process of creating this larger than life bronze sculpture click on to the
link for Turtle Story.
Roger's work has taken him in many different
directions and has allowed him to work with many different materials
including steel, aluminum, fiberglass and bronze. Bronze is his
favorite. "Once you work directly with the metal (bronze) it seems to
speak to you, telling you what shape and form it desires." Visit the
turtle and armadillo pages to view details of this bronze sculpture work.
