Here is another of Doug Hyde's delightful sculptures from his 2011 'Smiles Allround' collection.

He captures the essence of summer fun at the seaside indicated by the rubber ring and the sandy shore beneath the feet of this little character.

It is a piece that captures the very idea of childhood findings and adventures, as his classic moon-faced cheery character accompanied by his canine companion, make a starfish discovery on the beach.
