As Barelas sculpture line grew so did the opportunities, he accepted various commissions including The Zane Grey Tales of the Gladiator, Ted Williams, Memorial Sculpture, Public installations such as Marlin fountains in Key West, FL. & Salmon Fountain located in Medford, OR., The Tim Kelly Statue that sits at the base of the Hermosa Beach Pier, Chriss home town and most recently the Bob & Bill Meistrell statue at Sea side Lagoon in Redondo Beach CA..
