Bronze Sculptures

In my late 30's, I joined a sculpting group with a shared model. This was my first experience playing with clay. Not knowing what I was doing, I created this piece. The host of the group decided to fire the clay without asking me if I was finished. A little upsetting! However, after doing a faux patina, I began to appreciate what I accomplished. 

Fast forward thirty years later, since I enjoyed her so much I decided to cast her as a bronze using the lost-wax process. We gave her a turntable walnut base so she can be seen from many angles. A few years later a woman named Cindy from my community saw the bronze and exclaimed "I see you have been in the Tom Ware(house) group". Astonished, I asked how she knew. She smiled and revealed that she was the model!  Now we are very good friends! 

Little did I know, I titled the sculpture "After the Dance". Later, Cindy mentioned that she had been a dancer! Interestingly, the woman who bough the sculpture explained she wanted this bronze because she was a former dancer.

While creating a clay maquette for a stone sculpture, the clay unexpectedly took on the form of a playful, reserved, and modest young woman. Since she didn't fit the piece of stone I intended to use, I decided to cast her in bronze instead. 

This is the first edition of the sculpture. Additional editions will be available with different patina colors and bases.

After lunch (slugs and champagne on a sunny restaurant deck in the foothills of Colorado) with a very dear friend to celebrate my birthday, I wondered what I could do for her birthday celebration which was three days after mine. Feeling wonderful when I arrived home, I picked up a marble stone and started chipping.  With love in my heart, I started a heart shape line. Before I knew it, not intentionally, there were two faces one on each end. Although the faces were not hers and her husband's nationality, I knew it was her birthday gift. I soon realized the sculpture depicted my friend's long-term marriage relationship. Two people, with joined hearts, having different views of life, causing rough and smooth times, always together, solid as a rock. A decade after creating this Colorado Yule Marble carving, I was moved to create a bronze version. PS: they are still together for over four decades now.
This bronze is the first edition of the mold.

For additional editions the bronze finish may be changed, the stone base rock will be different, or, if desired, can be eliminated and
the base may be changed.      You have choices!
