Daniel's Dali

Bronze with marble base.
This is a sculpture done at my son's request. He just returned from Spain, the home of Salvador Dali. Daniel toured Dali's home town and the Dali museum. The painting "Persistence of Memory" has been called Dali's most famous painting and the tree with a melting clock is included in the painting. Dali also did sculptures of the melting clock and in England there is a sculpture of Dali with a melting clock. Ebay is selling Dali's original melting clock sculpture for $10,000. Reproductions can be found on the internet for about $2000.

Become a mentor

Alabaster stone base, Bronze figure. 8 inches high by six by eight.
This is the little girl image that I have shown in various stages in this blog. You have now seen this piece from start to finish. The image is from a photo in an ad in New Mexico Magazine that is requesting mentors for American Indian children in New Mexico. The ad says "Become a mentor." The organization is Futures for Children located in Albuquerque New Mexico.

Shawl of many colors


Bronze and alabaster stone. This sculpture did not photograph well. The photo depicts this sculpture as sort of short and squat...but she is really tall and thin. She sits at about 16 inches high. I call this sculpture the "Shawl of many colors" because I used black, white, green, blue and orange patina on the shawl. Some of the colors are visible in the photo. You can see black, green, and orange but you can't see the other colors too well in the photo. It is much prettier in real life.

I'm posting the photos of the sculptures as I finish them. I am in the process of cleaning up a few others before I start my summer projects. I am quickly running out of room at my house for the sculptures.

Moli 2

This is the second version of Moli I did for my friend Kathy. [See prior post] However, because Kathy likes the original Moli I did for her and has taken her home, this is now my Moli. She is sitting next to the Edison sculpture and keeping him company. This sculpture was derived from an actual photo of a Pomeranian. She is about two inches tall. Depending upon whether my son likes this sculpture or not, I may put her up for adoption.
