Chez Mirabel has a very interesting neighbor to the south: Jean-Philippe Richard, a world renown sculptor (http://www.richardsculpteur.com/atelier.htm). Next to our garage is his finishing studio, where Eric puts the finishing touches on his bronze castings.

We need to sleep on it for a few days before “pulling the trigger.” Fabrication will take about 2 months so someone will apparently be coming back around February to supervise the installation!
