The Roses

This antler was brought to me by a couple from Alberta, Canada. The couple shared vital information about themselves, their family and lifestyles to help create this vision. The carving isn’t just The Roses, it’s their roses.

     The stallions represent their sons and the ponies, their grandchildren. The eldest son stands at the edge of the cliff gazing through the valley to symbolize his leadership and serious character. Their other son’s more care free nature is expressed by him galloping by. He leads his daughter, nephew, and niece to seek out a faster pace adventure in the valley below.

     Beneath the eldest horse there are two wild roses. These signify the companionship of the couple and Albert’s provincial flower. The sign post holds three boards of information that are subliminal and privatize this carving.
