"Dreaming of Tomatoes" returns as a longhair, with many thanks to Caroline Davenport who commissioned me to make it.

"Dreaming of Tomatoes" SS, Standard Smooth, was my second sculpture of a dachshund, the first to be cast in bronze, and first to be sold out. In this 1:6 scale miniature long haired version I tweaked the hip to give it a bit more definition.

Each “Dreaming of Tomatoes” Long 1:6 Scale is made by hand, one at a time in Colorado, USA.

Each is signed, numbered and includes my mark, Joy Beckner Bronze Sculptor.

“I still remember the day I walked into Chaparral and saw ‘Dreaming of Tomatoes.’ I picked it up and never put it down. So, when I saw ‘Siesta’ in the same patina - I just had to have it. I wanted them to be together, so when I saw this position...well, putting them in a wooden bowl just seemed like the perfect way to let them snooze in peace.” Gayla Wiedenheft, MT.

Long-haired dachshund lovers may enjoy a similar experience with longhaired versions of "Dreaming of Tomatoes" and "Siesta.”
