My latest bronze in late light the very night before my art exhibit in Laguna's Art a Fair. This lovely figure was inspired during a session in life drawing , it is mind boggleing how a pose brief to be a minute long in warming up sketch exercises became monumental in the mind of this artist. Not the first time I get fixated on a short and fleeting snap shot where it ends up possesing me until I study it in depth and get my fill by immortalizing it in bronze.

Thank you Stephanie for sharing with us all your fabulous figure. In reality and centuries past this very subject matter summed up the origin of life and fertility the mother and care giver. Words dull in describing Woman, Goddess and nurturing. Today with images constantly in view of seductive women selling every object imaginable, it is easy to see how the seductive woman has become an object of desire herself. In art we try to return to basics and place her in front and center purely representing herself and possible divinity.
