Beauty in the Smallest Places fired clay, raven black, 11" Hope has always been a central theme in my work. The tiny black bird speaks to her of that hope.

Pensive fired terracotta clay, 9" (wax patina) Loosely based on one of my earlier coffee paintings. My favorite part is the look in her eyes. Trying to breathe a little life into my account here, and maybe take a break from the toxicity of Meta accounts. :-/

"Nadine - White" watercolor on paper - 6" x 9" I have been working on painting figures in watercolor. I appreciate the quality of the medium - it has a mind of its own! But, given a bit of practice, it creates a figure of the most delicate quality. From a ref photo of one of my favorite artists

"Courage" fired terracotta clay, 5" This piece, in its simplicity, has been one of my personal favorites. I had done several drawings of this pose, but what really struck me was the look in her eyes...

"Hair" Fired terracotta clay, 7" This is a re-imaging of a figure I did a year or so ago with a friend in Hungary. I couldn't bring the original home with me since I didn't have a kiln to fire it.

First Post. 😆 So, I'm not one of the stream of people abandoning X in favor of Blue Sky (I dropped my X account long ago, shortly after the change), but I wanted to see what was happening here. Looking forward with hope to a more positive environment. Expect to see some of my artwork here...
