"Father’s Love" … Bronze Sculpture by Tom White, Sculptor This Biblical bronze sculpture depicts the redeeming story of the Father of the Prodigal Son running to meet him with complete acceptance and love … We named our Inn, "A Prodigal Inn & Gallery," after this moving figurative bronze sculpture piece recounting this poignant story of family love. Its hoped that guests feel the welcome and warmth that was depicted in this powerful sculpture and the acceptance behind it.

Tom’s ability to indelibly capture a person’s features, character and spirit in his work has been a gift to the families of those Tom has memorialized in bronze.
