Summer Painting.



Acrylic painting mounted on wood. I am thinking about making a series. I got this image from a scene in the movie Last House on the Left. I am going to look at more scenes from horror movies and make my own interpretation. Hopefully a series of 5 by October.

A little bit more throwing.








Some more throwing. I'm enjoying the color with my black and white images. 

Third Sculpture.




White Clay, again with the oxides and stains. This one is only about fourteen inches tall. I think my next sculptures will be larger and more like this, but with less humanistic features and more of the abstract gestures.

Second Large- scale Sculpture





White Clay, Red Iron Oxide, Copper Carbonate Stain. A little over three feet tall.

First Large Scale Sculpture.





First large- scale, successful piece I have ever made. It stands at about 31 inches tall and is painted to represent muscle tissue and movement. 

Maquette



Small scale "practice" sculpture. Only about 9 or 10 inches tall.

The Beginning






Sketches of dancing figures in black ink on tracing paper.
