Sand People

Happy 4th of July everyone!

I took off for a few days to Ocean City with a bunch of friends, so no chances to draw/paint but I did attempt some sand sculptures! So I think this counts. However it's hard to take photos of sand on such a sunny day.

Working on an almost life sized woman. Xiao kept making her boobs bigger...

Sand people starting to get washed away. As the Buddha would point out, all things are impermanent.

Spring sculpture

Earlier this spring I took a sculpture class at the Torpedo Arts Center in Alexandria, VA. This was one of my main projects which I stupidly forgot to pick up once it was dry! Oh well.
The sculpture was based on a live model who posed for several sessions.

The second sculpture was actually from the first part of the class. I wasn't too happy with the results so I had fun throwing it in the garbage/accidentally beheading it.

Bushnell Park

The Corning Fountain in Bushnell Park - Hartford, CT. Oh the sacrifices we make for art. My pants are quite wet now from sitting on the rain soaked park bench.
