I’m still not done with this piece.  I need to add the crystals to the inside of the torso.  When I’m done I’ll post more complete pictures.  The piece stands 27″ high.

27" high polished bronze sculpture

For many years I’ve been working through Artworks Foundry in Berkeley, California to create my bronze sculptures.  Here is a short video clip on a piece that is in progress at the moment.  It is one component to my bronze and glass sculpture I’ll be showing at my April 2010 open studio in San Francisco, California.

At a very early age my father instilled a passion for art in me. Our visits to museums and art galleries opened up a creative world I fell in love with easily. This creative world allows me to say things about the world we live in that words cannot describe. I am spiritually engaged. My mind and heart are set on fire. I am empowered by this gift of creating. This storm of creation that spins around me lifts my love ones and the people around me.

Here’s a short video of the process I’m using to create the blue dichroic crystals that will fill my highly polished bronze sculpture.  You’ve got to have some imagination to get an idea of what I’m creating.  But, if you’ve seen my other polished bronze and dichroic work you’re ahead of the game. 

Below the video are two photos of the wax figure front and back that will be cast into bronze and then highly polished to a mirror finish.  It stands 27″.  I’ll put it on a 5″ square solid black granite base.  The polished bronze will look like 24k gold.  Elegant!

I stayed at CityCenter.com December 25,2009.  Lots of grand art.  This water show goes on 7  by 24.   It is brilliant at night and even more brilliant during the day.   I truly enjoyed it.

A very cool work of art by a Quaker. He totally gets it. I know you’ll enjoy this video clip.

James is great.  He rides in great company.  So, when you are finished watching Jame’s portion of the video click on the youtube video time line bar to play this Art 21 video clip from the beginning to view the other great artists who talk about light and their art.  They are excellent!   Makes sense?   If not, sent me a comment for help and I’ll give you some help.

Need I say more…

Looks like Judy is nearly finished with the photo shoot!  Looking great Judy!  I’m loving it.

Well, everyone is doing it… Damned if I do… so much work… Damned if I don’t… not connecting enough on the net…

Well, despite my flu today I dragged myself into the studio to finish mounting the glass onto the bronze wings.  My thoughts are I really like this version of my wings and glass series.  Next stop, photo shoot with Judy Reed!   Hi Judy
