Apology...

To those who follow my blog, I apologize for neglecting to post much. I love to write and express myself and expound about my opinions and beliefs.

Lately, I've been working intensely on wedding plans as my beautiful daughter prepares to begin a new life with her chosen love, Heath.

I've tried to maintain my art and regular life but all the intensity of this planning and the many roadblocks that keep being piled in front has had an adverse affect on me and my work; there is a reason for no new posts or new artwork.

After July 3rd, I will return to art full blast to art and hopefully writing. Please bear with me until then but please please feel free to read my past posts that are archived....and comment if you want.

I'll be checking every day.

Winter Sculpture Session

The sculpture below is my first representational female torso. In the past at college, I sculpted abstract forms but never realism. The figure was taken from a living model...a wonderful and experienced model. This class was a real learning experience and I can see that it is helping my life drawing greatly.

This piece is unfired clay at this point. I'll post the finished piece soon.

I wanted a more dynamic pose but did not have control of it since this was a class project. Often I take people literally and so when my instructor focused on accuracy, I feared to exaggerate....but then my instructor wants me to to exaggerate on the next piece. I feel a little bound up.



Gesture, gestures, gestures ... the key to life drawing.
