13. “SPRING PAIR” #39/100 Bronze by David T. Hibler
In Texas it’s easy to tell when spring has arrived. One of the most notable indicators of spring is the numerous pairs of bobwhite quail that can be observed all around the Texas mott and brush country. The rooster & hen bobwhites get together for their first hatch of the year to begin their new covey. “Spring Pair” is a familiar sight to the springtime outdoorsman & is an ode to one of the most important facet of quail conservation. This beautiful sculpture features one of the aforementioned pairs in full flight & full plumage.
David T. Hibler has spent much of his lifetime observing, hunting, and sculpting wildlife animals. Birds, and above all the Bobwhite Quail, have become the animal that he is most fond of emulating in his bronzes. “Spring Pair” depicts a scene that he grew up seeing time and time again – a pair of quail flying after being spooked from the thick south Texas brush. This beautiful bronze will make a fine addition to your home, ranch, or hunting camp!
