Pete
Felten is a nationally-known
artist and a native of Hays, Kansas. His Stone Gallery on
6th St.is open to the public. Pete was a wonderful host to our group
of traveling friends, who wandered in unxepectedly and were treated
royally.
His monumental stone buffalo
can
be seen at Fort Hays. His
portraits
in stone of Amelia Earhart,
William Allen White, Arthur Capper and Dwight Eisenhower are displayed
in the Kansas state capitol
building
at Topeka.
Pete seems to have ideas
for sculptural and two-demensional work pouring from him! His
indoor gallery has his own work and work of other area artists,
upstairs and down. He showed us his garden wall--a work in progress--filled
with delightful details and artful touches. Pete also showed us
sketches for works he has envisioned, but have not become reality--yet.
He demonstrated how he works
native limestone and marble with a small bucket of saws,
files, and a simple chisel and hammer. Our thanks go to Pete for a wonderful experience at his gallery.
