“Intention is like a landmark. If You were travelling through unfamiliar country toward a snow-capped mountain, You would find that You sometimes took a wrong turn, but as long as You could see the mountain, You would make progress toward it. Sometimes obstacles would get in Your way. Some times They would even hide the mountain from You. But there is one thing that would not happen. You would not forget to look for the mountain. You would know that You could not reach the mountain by forgetting its existence. You would laugh at the idea of forgetting to look for the mountain. In thought, we sometimes forget to look for the mountain. The obstacles we encounter are sometimes in the form of contra-survival facsimiles which hide our intentions from us, and make us forget them. Naturally, we can not accomplish anything if we do not intend to accomplish anything. And intending is a continuous process. Intention is cause.” (LRH)
Some of the work shown on this blog is available for sale, some have been sold. Contact me if you are interested in a piece or if you would like to commission a work - sculpture, painting or pencil portrait (person or pet) - please contact me at annefewell@yahoo.com.
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, I now live in Los Angeles where I create bronze sculpture and oil portraits as well as pet portraits and house portraits.
Other than the joy of bringing into being the essence of a person, I am proud to say that those who have commissioned a work have been 100% satisfied. I have received many comments, such as: "He is so alive you can imagine what he's thinking;" "He's so full of life." "He looks really alive. You nailed him."

THE ARROW AND THE SONG (by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
