"Ellis & His Grim Reaper"
Original "paint-by-number" painting by LuLu Fry, property of Ellis Nelson
Driving south through Muscoda (the Morel Mushroom Capitol of Wisconsin), turn left onto Hwy 133 on the edge of town. Look left. See a yard full of curvy arching sculptures...stylized egrets with their beaks pointing toward heaven, circles of metal welded into threesomes, other visionary pieces, non-static, whirring in the wind...and back by the building/workshop standing sentry is a huge, life-size Grim Reaper, black and hooded, a scythe in his hands...a hornet flies out of his jagged white-metal face...this is Ellis Nelson Territory.
"I can see into the next rainbow."
Ellis Nelson is open 7 days a week! Stop by and pick up a glorious piece of original sculpture!

My dear friend and mentor, Ellis Nelson, passed away on Sunday, March 8, 2015. He was 86 years old.
Ellis was a genuinely kind man, full of stories and witty comments. He patiently and graciously taught me how to work with metal.
I will always have many fond memories of master sculptor Ellis Nelson.
Rest in Peace my friend, and a huge thank-you.
