Horses and more

 

I dreamt of horses last night. Thundering hooves, steamy breath, plumes of moist, hot air billowing up from their nostrils. Can't wait to get back into the creating phase in the studio. I'm finishing up a Rain Dancer right now for the Ruidoso Art Festival. It starts next weekend. I have ordered books on horse anatomy, sculpting horses, and sculpting animals. I hope to introduce a new line of animal sculptures this fall.

New Work

Finally able to post new work. Now I can put up pictures of the latet sculptures from my Ruidoso, New Mexico studio. I am working on an Apache warrior mask right now and hope to have him done by tomorow. I just finished and shipped two Horse sculptures, my latest in my series of clay animal sculptures. And today I took pictures of my new Warrior Sculpture Art. Actually it is a female mixed media wall sculpture. I call it a Goddess Warrior. She is magnificent. I was inspired by the subtle colors of the sea urchin necklace that I just bought in Albuquerque. She is a very realistic sculpture. Her presence in my studio is haunting and powerful. I can't decide if she an African sculpture or Aborigini or Native American Anasazi. .

The Mountain Man that was commissioned by a collector in California arrived and the client was very happy with his sculpture. The Santa that I finished went to his new home today and will be the center of the holiday table. More masks, more horses, more everything. I was just contacted by a gallery in Tubac, Arizona. I need to have a body of work ready to go by Dec 22...
