Tiberius,

A fine partner to Dean's Amazon postcard, nice to see the transition from two to three dimensions. Any markings or signature to identify the piece? This sculpture should make for an excellent centerpiece to your equine collection.

Dean,

"Neues Jahr, ein Neues Hoffen," in other words, "New Year, (brings) a new hope."

My take is that even death brings succor and nourishment to new life, hence, the wheat shafts growing fine and strong from the pair of skulls. Life's cycle complete, the New Year bringing with it renewed hope for a better life and world in general.

The next card was the third place winner of an art contest for posters - war bond/insurance and such for the Austrian "Phoenix" organization. No doubt the illustration was meant to convey the message of protection for the families of military personel. The soldier nicely portrays a powerful feeling of superior strength and determination.

Many thanks for these fine additions gents!

Bill
