Three million dollars worth of monumental sculptures have been donated to The Coming King Foundation for display at a 23-acre Sculpture Prayer Garden on Interstate 10 in Kerrville, Texas.

Kerrville is northwest of San Antonio and about 100 miles southwest of Austin in the heart of Texas hill country of the Guadalupe River Valley.

David Broussard www.JeweledSteel.com and two other professional American sculptors, Beverly Paddleford www.HopeMonument.com of Lander, Wy., and Max Greiner Jr. www.MaxGreinerArt.com of Kerrville, Texas, will donate their work to the sculpture park.

Broussard molds carbon steel via blowtorch to construct contemporary sculptures; Paddleford and Greiner sculpt realistic originals from clay or wax, which are later cast into bronze. Together, the three artists are giving more than a dozen monumental sculptures to the garden. Two million dollars in donations have already been spent on the world-class garden park, however, two to three million dollars more are needed to complete
the garden.

In December of 2008, construction on the garden was halted for 15 months when a lawsuit filed by neighbors sought to stop a $2 million, 70-ton Cor-tin steel cross 77?EUR??,,????'?????<
