These are a few pieces we're actively considering, in no particular order (needless to say, if we won the lottery tomorrow, we'd probably get them all).  All works are bronze unless otherwise stated:

• Nancy Rieke - Cello  We saw this at the Loveland Invitational in August '98. Very impressive. - Update: we bought this in 2003. Most excellent.
• Hans Schiebold - Original Acrylic Painting (unknown title).  We've admired this man's paintings often at Bronze Coast Gallery in Cannon Beach.  One day we'll buckle down and get one. News flash - we had one commissioned and we love it!
• Deacon - Charlie.  You have to like dogs to appreciate this piece.
• David Crawford - Fat Cat.  What "Charlie" does for dogs, this does for cats.
• David Crawford - Trestle Horse.  Most unusual horse, with a zipper up the spine.
• Arlie Regier - One of a kind Stainless Steel designs.  We were first exposed to Arlie's work at Loveland.  Unfortunately, he has no dealers in Washington or Oregon.

If we had the room for it, we'd consider Deacon's "Azygos" in the full size version.  Azygos is a stylized wolf that seems quite menacing in full size, but is somewhat more tentative in the smaller versions.  Other artists that we're watching out for:

• Carol Gold - Todd became fascinated by her work as seen on the Columbine Gallery website.  We had the chance to see it up close in Loveland.  Still percolating on this one.
• Tim Cherry - Dean Major from Bronze Coast Gallery suggested we seek out Tim's work, as it seemed to fit our tastes.  We both like "Snake in the grass" (which we secretly refer to as "road pizza cat"), but it's sold out in all but the smallest size.
• Jason Napier - We first encountered Jason's work at a Seattle home show.  One of these days, we'll have to find his gallery at Friday Harbor.
• Christopher Burkett - We've yet to see these Ilfochrome enlargements from 8x10" Transparencies, but they sound intriguing.
