I've been wanting to sculpt a man in tears. My friend agreed to tackle this difficult task and modeled for this sculpture. With my home renovation projects squared away, I'm happily back in production. The next piece will be a happy one.

I loved this piece when I first saw you working at it in the studio! What really drew me in was the sadness I could see in his eyes. You captured the emotion beautifully. Love your artistry!

Thank you Lisa. When I saw you yesterday, I should've shown you the last version of my dove. Steve, Charlie, and Iva said it looked like a dove. Your reference helped!!

Yoko, how can you transfer such emotions? You are a tru genius.
I can just feel his sorrow.

Thank you Cathy. I'm not 100% happy with this piece, but I'm happy to see where I need to improve. My first figure sculpting class is going well. I just asked Sandie if she wanted to go to see you with me. Miss you.

Thank you Steve for your comment as usual. The next one will be an image of his wife, and the third one will be both together. My first sculpting class is ending soon. After that, I plan to send a lesson plan to Bebe. Hopefully I'll be able to teach a workshop at your studio next year.
