L'Deane Trueblood is a world renowned sculptor whose pieces are greatly admired. For over the past 25 years, she has created sculptures that can be found worldwide. She is especially known for her work depicting children in delightful settings.
This sculpture called "Early Bird" is one a young boy with a shovel. He is shirtless, dressed in coveralls that are rolled up over his rubber galoshes. He is leaning into his work, and intent on his mission.
On the sculptor's website, under his photo, she has written, "Dew wetting cheeks like a cool morning's kiss, quiet solitude wrapped like a blanket, doing the honest work of an earnest man so soon in life."
