Latest Paintings and Sculptures: new for 2018

 

 

This is the fourth sculpture from life I have done from this model. Previous ones can be found on the ceramics page: young woman reclining and the bust “Verity.” There is also a larger seated figure in bronze resin. This model is very rewarding to sculpt; she has great natural poise and elegance and is great at holding the pose!  I have finished this version in a rich golden glaze.

This is a breed of dog I have not sculpted before:

Again I have used a metallic glaze but this time bronze rather than gold.

This little fat cat is different from others I have made..

I have used coloured slips to give the cat  a soft velvety looking finish. Glossy glaze was only applied to the eyes. This gives a soft looking but durable finish as the colours are fired in, not painted on the surface. Tough enough to live outside!

Here is something different, one of my flights of fancy, a happy birdlike pair.

My latest paintings include quite a few birds, as well as a tree, some flowers and a marsh at daybreak. Also a cat.
