Of course there are plenty of exceptions to those (perhaps unfair) generalizations. Ralph Oberg is a case in point.

Eyfells Sculpture Creation Expressi...Johann Eyfells has hundreds of these sculptures all over his ten acre yard. They are quite a sight. I noticed them from driving by and had to turn in and explore these forms. Fortunately Johann Eyfells himself was there and he invited us to view all of this, even taking us into his home which was filled with more of his wife's paintings. She painted faces and parts of faces giving them lines and colors that are very interesting. You can find out more about his move of all his sculpture on a website entitled www.EyfellsandEyfells.com
