peru statue

The Nativity Retablo is a perfect size for where I want to use it. I love the blue colors of the night sky and the stars. The figures are really colorful, too. I really like it. The only problem with the "Blue Nativity" I bought--he didn't allow the colors to dry all the way, so the door stuck and some of the paint pulled away from the wood in about 5 small spots on the door and the front of the shelves. I am going to try to find some paint to match and touch up those spots, because I love the Retablo and don't want to return it. I received it more quickly than was promised, but wish that he had waited one more day to send it, to make sure the paint was dry.

I lost my father last year and my mother's sister has ended up feeling a lot of the emotional support role he offered. My father was really into meditation and my aunt really likes harpy eagles, and so I just love this piece.

I am the happy owner of 3 of Mr. Barrow's sculptures (so far). This "Cuzco Shepherd" is just beautiful, unique and very detailed. It shows the love between the shepherd and her llama. The colors he uses to stain the wood are also beautiful. I especially like that this sculpture portrays a part of Andean life and culture. He is an artist and is able to turn small pieces of wood into the most beautiful works of art. I absolutely love his work and thank him for bringing such beauty into my home. I treasure my sculptures from him.
