Description An 04 head refreshed with crown,paint and cord to look very old. Just looking at the way I used to sculpt faces makes me realize the mental peace I used to have.

This at first look, looked like a very surreal painting instead of a sculpture. back ground and face all seem to fit into the same visual world etc.


He/she looks so serene.

The paints I use most often are called Genesis heat set oils.They handle just like oil paint,but cure in minutes
The color range isnt as rich so, I also use pastels and ink when needed too.

beautiful..love the soft and slightly sad colours...it's distressing that you don't feel you have the peace you used to...but perhaps your work is helping you through a temporary phase?..I sometimes find I only really see what I have been going through when I look back through my art...hope all is now well with you

Back when I sculpted her I made whatever I wanted for pleasure. I didnt know my work could sell for so much or that that would become a big pressure to perform.

Recently alot of nitty things have been hovering.Thoughts I realy dont want,peoples rubbish, stress,burdens. The usual.
I always end up sculpting what Im experianceing emotionaly. It helps me move on.
Im alright ,thanks

This one is going to a gallery. She had been just a practice head layng around for a long while and I mounted it and sculpted the headdress.

I thought this entire photo was a painting at first, and even now that I've looked more into it, the sculpture still looks like an oil painting.

Breathtaking and fascinating, this is amazing.

At first I thought this was an oil painting till I looked at it's location in "sculpture". The setting you created with this piece gives it a painterly effect.. if that's the correct word to use.

As usual.. breathtaking work, and a great photograph.

Sleetwealth In reply to MeatRoots [2009-09-03 02:27:40 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much She is mounted on a teak stained panel. That helps give it that painterly look. I like for my sculpture images to bridge painting and art photography. So I try to capture mood as well as a clear photo of the work.

Well some say that if you dont act properly sourpus, donn your slippers and matron uniform. I think there should be a happy medium.
My mom is nonconventional and I actauly like that about her,but when she got 2 mastiff puppys (those things grow up to be mini cows) and she lives in a trailer! that was a bit much for me to take.

Heh heh grandkids must be realy special!

Well to be fair some of the cases I had were tough.. A beautiful chartrues orchid. I did everything in my power to keep it happy and I was heartbroken when it died. Outdoor plants seem to like me fine. A christmas cactus is all Ive been able to keep indoors. I even killed a barrel cactus somehow.

DragonLadyhere In reply to Sleetwealth [2009-09-16 05:22:47 +0000 UTC]

TWO Mastiffs??? OMG, where does she sleep?

Sometimes I'm nothing but a sourpuss, but other times we have pillow fights and water fights. .. hmmn, after reading that, I kind of sound bipolar.

I don't get to see the grandkids that often. Hopefully, I'll get up to Georgia to see them next month. I've got two little grandkids. My oldest son and his wife are the current providers of my grandkids, lol. I've still got three almost adult kids at home---I'll not give them any ideas anytime soon! Okay, well TWO are supposed to be 'adults' already---then there's the picky sixteen year old who is fascinated by all things Goth and Steampunk.

I heard that orchids are tricky to take care of. I don't know the first thing about them other than that I'd kill them. So, this is me saving a life: I won't ever buy one. You have my word.

I have killed Pothos plants, cacti and those Venus Fly traps---I'll never buy those again either. I once set a Pothos houseplant 'free' outside and it strangled an Oak tree. (*sigh.)

Hope you're not getting too tired of hangin' in there.
Peace Always,
the DragonLady

Well in bed with the dogs,but they both have died now. Of course they have 2 more medium sized dogs.
Sounds like perfect balance to me

What a bunch! I envy you though. Wish I had kids and eventualy grandkids.

yeah the orchid I even went online and studied how to care for them. I killed an air plant a bromliad. I didnt know you are suposed to soak them maybe once a month. I had a venus as a child that didnt make it either. Poor things.
Wow an oak is no easy thing to kill either!

Looked at another house today.Nice wood floors. getting realy bored of looking with no good news.

We are a bunch indeed. My dog is almost fourteen years old. She's up there---still neurotic, but up there age-wise. My oven repair money is going for her vet bill.

Kids are great---but sometimes they're not. They can drive you just as insane as the next guy. They have their moments, lol. Still, I consider myself extremely lucky to have been able to have them in my life.

I'm sorry, but part of your recent post to me was inaccessible to me for some reason. The little message box cut off part of it. I could see that you had written more, but I couldn't read it, so I apologize if I'm missing something. It starts at the third paragraph and there's no way for me to scroll down or enlarge the box to read it. Hmmn. . . now it's going to drive me nuts.

Peace Always,
the DragonLady
