Aside from getting paintings and sculptures ready for the upcoming show, this summer Clayton sculpted a foxhound for Mr. Stewart’s Cheshire Foxhounds. This year marks the 100th anniversary of this foxhunt, and the sculpture, Lentil, contributes to this occasion. An edition of 21, the proceeds of the sale of Lentil will go to support the Cheshire Land Conservancy Fund.
A bit about Lentil the sculpture: Huntsman Ivan Dowling picked Lentil (the hound) as the best example of this pack of crossbred foxhounds. He remarked to Clayton that in their breeding program, Lentil epitomizes the good looks and work ethic that they are aiming for. Clayton found that Lentil was an easy hound to work with as he sculpted her. “Once she understood what I wanted, she was a great model.”
