Figurative clay sculpture update

June 22nd, 2010 | Posted in Ceramic, Sculpture |  Print 4 Comments »

Hi all,

Here’s an update to my figurative clay sculpture of a woman relaxing with her feet in the water.  I adjusted her neck and head to a more relaxed position. Hopefully it looks better now.  It’s hard to tell sometimes after I’ve looked at it for a while.  Some lace has been added to her dress to the top area.  Since this was supposed to be a rough sketch type of sculpture, there are going to be things that aren’t spot on and that will have to do. Otherwise it would be a refined sculpture and she isn’t that.  I’ve enjoyed doing this type of sculpture very much. 

There’s just some more to go here and there but the basics of her is complete.  Thanks for looking and comments are appreciated as always.

   Tamara: She is so pretty. She reminds me a little of Kristy. Did you fashion her after someone in particular?

   I didn’t have any person’s face in mind. I just started sculpting a pretty face and that’s what came out. She does look like Kristy somewhat (and Kristie’s such a pretty girl)now that you mention it. Sometimes people’s faces are in my subconcious and it comes out without my knowing it. For instance, when I sculpted my Patsy sculpture I didn’t realize I was sculpting my close friend Pat who I hadn’t seen for 20 years! I ended up giving the sculpture to her when she moved back to the states from Hawaii.

   Look forward to seeing you at Aunt Chris’!

   Hi Tamara! Been a while. This is as lovely as all your work. So much grace there. It’s good to see your work again. I’m still sculpting but have not put any on my website. I need to do that.
