I prefer to work with real people when I can because I think it brings an authenticity to my art work and is consistent with the overall message I wish to communicate or honor. Once I was able to begin the physical part of the work, I met with the models Janet and Dave and explained to them the concept, general pose, and inspiration behind this couple composition. Then I let them get into the pose, minimizing my intervention, allowing them to fall into a position natural for each of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6318\/0693\/files\/I_Am_You_041206zk_clay.jpg?v=1594241666\" alt=\"Woman's Face in Clay prior to Bronze Casting I am You\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6318\/0693\/files\/I_Am_You_041206zw_clay.jpg?v=1594241722\" alt=\"Man's Face in Clay prior to Bronze Casting I am You\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     I include here detailed shots of each face in the couple sculpture that also include the hands covering each person's sternum. (Some of the images are shown here in clay since I forgot to take these detail shots of the bronze and I sold the first bronze casting immediately.)  The position of each hand and even the stance of the body is unique to an individual and often different for each gender. Note that the woman Janet naturally wrapped her fingers around the man Dave's hand, while Dave simply rested his hand protectively over Janet's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     You may also observe that the man's legs are further apart, both front-to-back and side-to-side, than the woman's. Details like this I could not make up without, I suspect, giving the art a contrived look. Not being male myself, I would not presume to tell Dave how to carry his male body. My job is simply to pay attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     In a sculpture such as this one with a lot of symmetry involved, I like to \"mix it up\" by breaking that symmetry in small ways.

This action caused me to really examine the meaning of the word '\u003cstrong\u003evulnerability\u003c\/strong\u003e.'  I had generally thought of vulnerability as a strength, a gift we can offer of sharing, openness, and honesty. President Bush seemed to see vulnerability as a weakness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    There are, in fact, two types of vulnerability: the kind you have control over and the kind that you do not. An Achilles’ Heel is a good example of vulnerability as a liability. The phrase comes from the legend of the \u003cstrong\u003eGreek hero Achilles\u003c\/strong\u003e. The story is that his mother Thetis wanted to protect him by dipping him into the River Styx to make her son invulnerable. However, she held her baby by his heel with her thumb and forefinger (a strong mother!), thus blocking the magical waters from reaching all of her child's body. Achilles is said to have died by an arrow shot into this same heel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    I suspect that it was this type of vulnerability, the fatal flaw, that President George W.

You will see this in many painted and sculptural depictions of political leaders. In essence, a brave and secure person is sending the message, “I can chose to be vulnerable to you and remain strong, too.” (The opposite position would be the curled up, closed fetal position that is designed to keep us safe.

Here is a portion of that passage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e        \u003cbr\u003e                \"I know what you want,\" said the sea witch; \"it is very stupid of you, but you shall have your way, and it will bring you to sorrow, my pretty princess. You want to get rid of your fish's tail, and to have two supports instead of it, like human beings on earth, so that the young prince may fall in love with you, and that you may have an immortal soul.\" And then the witch laughed so loud and disgustingly, that the toad and the snakes fell to the ground, and lay there wriggling about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                \"You are but just in time,\" said the witch; \"for after sunrise to-morrow I should not be able to help you till the end of another year. I will prepare a draught for you, with which you must swim to land tomorrow before sunrise, and sit down on the shore and drink it. Your tail will then disappear, and shrink up into what mankind calls legs, and you will feel great pain, as if a sword were passing through you. But all who see you will say that you are the prettiest little human being they ever saw. You will still have the same floating gracefulness of movement, and no dancer will ever tread so lightly; but at every step you take it will feel as if you were treading upon sharp knives, and that the blood must flow. If you will bear all this, I will help you.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                \"Yes, I will,\" said the little princess in a trembling voice, as she thought of the prince and the immortal soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     In payment for such a potion, the Sea Witch demands the lovely voice of the little mermaid and cuts out her tongue. No one said that fairy tales were not gruesome!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     Despite this, the story is charming and thought-provoking. It is told from the perspective of childlike innocence that is full of the joy and wonder of first experiences. The descriptions are colorful and lively.

It is a story of a pure, yet unrequited love, and a search for something larger than each of us - an immortal soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     The story has darkness and light and is one of the influences in my observing co-existing opposites. In the end, the little mermaid does not win the soul-sharing love of her prince, but for her unwavering effort and her pure love (for she could not kill him and his new bride even to save her own life), she is given a second chance. The story ends on a note of hope, with the message that we can walk the path of our choice and obtain our goals with the assistance of those around us. It also contains a subtle warning to all of us that by our actions, we can choose to aid or to harm another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    May \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSirenetta ~ The Little Mermaid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e enchant you with her beauty and inspire you by her good heart and pure determination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    For your bronze, you may choose between a green, a \"tan,\" or a traditional patina [color finish in the metal].

John and I were on our way from Florida back to Texas when our car lost its engine about 1 hour east of Houston. We were fortunate enough to be picked up by a kind couple in a van and given a lift to Houston, where we rented a U-Haul truck and trailer. It was the middle of Memorial Day weekend and the idea of being stuck away from home and waiting for a mechanic to return from holiday was not a pleasant thought. So we towed our vehicle home and returned the rented wheels after the holiday.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e     Determining the problem and fixing the car took time. When my sculptor friends in Austin mentioned in Open Studio that I was \"trapped\" at my home studio, the model Phyll called me that evening and offered to take me into town for a sculpting session.

Her face is a bit exotic and her heart is warm. She is also fun to go dancing with! However, many of my artist friends laughed at me during the course of the creation of this figurative charcoal drawing \u003cem\u003eMemories of Venice\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Somehow that derision, however kindly expressed, only spurred me to finish this drawing that I loved. I learned a lot creating this artwork. I could not actually see Valentina's face from my easel position. I tend to choose back-lighting and the light was more important to me than the pose, although obviously not so important that I later decided to include some face.   So, during the pose, I would walk behind the artist drawing next to me to have some sort of reference from reality, and then try to change the perspective I saw in the model to match the figure I was working on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    We artists arrive at \"realism\" through abstraction. So, \u003cstrong\u003ewhen I designed the shadow shape on the model stand, I began to see it as a wave.\u003c\/strong\u003e One of the things I wanted to learn when I went to Italia was how to place a figure in an environment. The wave shape suggested a water theme. When in Italy, Venice is an obvious connection with water. My favorite memory of Venice was when it rained there in the summer, sending tourists and pigeons away. The light in the dusk was soft. It was romantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     An idea began to form in my brain. In truth, the model was resting her right arm on a slanted easel. I changed this to a vertical support for stability and as a contrast to the figure's curves. It was when I added the stripes so often seen in Venice that the snickers and outright laughter of others began.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    One of the many composition ideas I tried in Photoshop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6318\/0693\/files\/Memories-of-Venice5_CharcoalDrawingNudeWoman.jpg?v=1595244476\" alt=\"One composition idea explored in Photoshop but did not feel right\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     \u003cbr\u003e     Frustrated a bit, I asked Angel Academy art instructor Jered Woznicki for his opinion. At first he refrained with the excuse that he did not want to be rude. But I told him that I respect his opinion and I am tough enough to handle the delivery if I can get the information I need. He is a good teacher and thoughtful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     The next day I asked him again and that time he asked me what my response would be to a drawing of a man holding a shovel. So, I learned that day that one item does not a story make. I am not sure what he would have done if given my drawing and asked to do something himself to improve it. But I took his observation to mean that I needed to add more elements to remove the mystery of the lone candy cane, barber shop pole, or other associations being made about \"The Pole\" as it became known among the laughing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e        The image above is one of the \"sketches\" I did in Photoshop.  I did not want to experiment with my composition ideas on the actual paper because Umbria strikes me as a fragile paper, although lovely.  Also, I love the drawing of Valentina and did not want to ruin the entire drawing with too much erasing while I was exploring options in composition.  I could have done this with collage as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e        Nothing I tried really looked good to me, but with each attempt, I was able to clarify my thoughts or at least eliminate certain shapes in various sizes in places. What I finally honed in on was a spiral composition. I do not know if anyone else will see it, but if you start in the lower left corner and allow your eye to follow the line of the gondolas over to and up the church dome on the right, you have a good start. Then from the top of the church, seek out the light on the right hand, then the face. Allow your eyes to fall along the line of light along the left arm, bending in towards the hand and ending in the center of the drawing. Do you see it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e        In this last image, I fell in love all over again with charcoal. Generally as I am applying the material to the paper, I am actually exploring the looks of various methods of application. And I loved this dripping look, a lot like watercolor.

The artist observes both subject and \"canvas\" from a specific viewing point (usually some distance away), then walks up to the drawing board to make her mark. Then she turns around and returns to the viewing point to determine if the mark was accurate. If not, she will approach the drawing and make a more correct mark, repeating as necessary.
