MOURNING DOVES AND PASSION FLOWERS (1985) bronze/acrylic, height 19, edition 15 This sculpture was commissioned as a gift to Pope John Paul from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in conjunction with the Italian Labor Union. McGlaun: “The mourning doves represent peace and I did two of them to honor the labor organizations who commissioned the work. The passion flower is loaded with religious symbolism. The name came from the Spanish priests who landed in Florida, the five petals with five sepals represent the ten disciples, the corona represents the crown of thorns, the stamen the three nails and five wounds in Christ’s body. I did three flowers to represent the Holy Trinity.” (We regret that the newspaper copy of the Pope accepting the gift is not legible.) 
REDFISH AND BLUE CRAB (1983) bronze/acrylic, length 42, edition 10 McGlaun: “This was the first piece I did for the Gulf Coast Conservation Association, an organization that makes sure that sporting fish in the Gulf area are not over-fished. Every year they produce a stamp and I do a bronze of the fish, the proceeds from the auction of which are donated to the organization. I usually get my specimens from the fresh fish stores which handle a lot of redfish these days due to the popularity of that culinary delight – blackened redfish.” 
BLUEBONNETS AND MOCKINGBIRDS (1986) bronze/acrylic, height 24, edition 6 McGlaun: “This piece celebrates the Texas Sesquicentennial. I used the state bird and state flower, on a base shaped as the state of Texas and made out of pecan wood, the state tree.” 
SPECKLED TROUT AND MULLET 36 X 24 X 16 
CAT SQUIRREL (1983) bronze/acrylic, height 12, edition 15 McGlaun: We live just a mile and a half from the national forest and see these little critters sitting on unkept fence rows, overgrown with grate vines. I sculpt every part of my art, including the wood and rocks. To do so, I’ve discovered a number of household tools that make excellent textural effects – you’d be surprised what you can do with a toothbrush!” 
SAILFISH AND BONITO bronze/polychrome 25 x 30 X 18 
WHITETAIL DEER 
RABBIT (1983) bronze/acrylic, length 11, edition 21 McGlaun: “This started out as a joke. I was making an Easter bunny for my kids and the sculpting went great. Their response to it was so positive, I decided to turn him into a bronze.”
