| Beginning in the mid-1980s to sculpt eagles because he feared they would become extinct, Chester Fields initially used a large amount of his own money to pay for his first sculpture. Called Splashdown, it was a four-feet high bald eagle swooping down to catch a rainbow trout. In 1985, this sculpture won the Best of Show at the C.M. Russell Auction in Great Falls, Montana. One of the series is in Maui, Hawaii at the Whalers' Village, and another is the focus of the Anheus (showing 500 of 1573 characters). |
