Featured Art: Catch of the Day
Catch of the Day
Written and Photographed by David L. Williams II
Located at the entrance of the Northcorp Corporate Park at 3910 RCA Boulevard, Catch of the Day by Florida sculptor W. Stanley “Sandy” Proctor is a powerful lifesize bronze sculpture that beautifully captures a timeless outdoor teaching moment.
Renowned for his narrative realism, Proctor has a rare talent for animating bronze with warmth, motion and meaning. In Catch of the Day , he preserves a fleeting yet familiar scene: an older brother gently teaching his younger sibling how to remove a hook from a freshly caught fish, while their loyal labrador looks on with eager curiosity.
Measuring an impressive 96 inches high, 90 inches wide and 46 inches deep, the sculpture is both monumental in scale and intimate in feeling. Like much of Proctor’s work, its power lies in its subtlety, figures caught mid-gesture in the quiet exchange of knowledge and trust. Here, we see more than a fishing lesson; we see mentorship, wonder and the quiet moments that establish unique bonds.
Set in a City that values family, community and connection to the outdoors, Catch of the Day feels perfectly at home in Palm Beach Gardens. It’s a piece that invites the viewer to pause and reflect. This bronze scene is more than public art; it’s a reminder of what endures: shared moments, simple pleasures and the beauty of learning from one another.
