"Problem with Standing"
Because several figures in the set are not level on the bottom, they either fall often or have to lean against something to stand.

"Very Basic but Charming Nativity"
Figures within the Palm House are roughly carved and lack detail on the faces, clothing. Artist needs to take a bit more time and do a bit more finishing effort.

"Absolutely LOVE this sculpture."
Such beautiful workmanship and heart has gone into making this beautiful sculpture. I started a new job that I new would be a bit of a challenge at first due to my lack of management experience in the past. This beautiful sculpture sits on my desk and I receive a calming sensation every time I look at it. Also, it is more beautiful in person. RW
