I started this little head before I went to France thinking it would become part of a larger sculpture. That never happened even though I kept it wrapped up for three months. Last week I looked at it again, and it was too dry to continue with it, but I loved the face so much, it seemed like it was enough just to be itself and that alone. I was very happy with the way it turned out, and it was one of the first things I sold yesterday.... makes me think sometimes I make things into more than they need to be, and that sometimes, a head with a strong spirit is enough on its own. I need to remember that.....
Good point. Sometimes I wonder if I overburden my work with my intentions. I'll remember this post. Hell, I'll make a poster of it and put it in my studio wall!
...good lesson to remember, Jenny. I enjoyed meeting you last day of JF yesterday -- my beautiful bird has already cozily perched itself for all to enjoy, namely moi.
