Giant Grizzly Bear
This glacial boulder was deposited near Stave Lake just outside of Mission, British Columbia millions of years ago and back in the 90's it made its way into the arms of the sculptor. BCTV, a local television and broadcast station created and aired a three part documentary series about Police Artists and featured Paul MCCARL . The documentary showed footage of Paul working on various carvings, several finished art pieces, and in particular his quarrying activity and the selection of this boulder as he described his vision to the TV Crew and audience. The 12 ton boulder was subsequently delivered in the bucket of a D-9 Loader to his residence in Abbotsford were it underwent the transformation and over 1200 hours of back breaking labor. The bear has been moved three times since it's initial recovery location and it is near complete. Paul will spend the next couple hundred hours cutting hair into the rock, and the last carving activity will be to highlight the claws, ears and muzzle after which the eye lids will be undercut and the eyeballs water polished. A magnificent sculpture such as this will be valued at about a 100 K.
