Sculpting & Painting...

"Friar Tobey", a bronze fountain piece is having his stone sitting foundation built. A small flurry of sculpture sales has had me scurring all over the county. Foundry, rock yards and to the hardware store for fountain pumps. All this had to be squeezed in between painting and framing. The paintings are large and going to the galleries (as are the sculptures). My small sized paintings for the daily blog have suffered as a result, but to make up for it I will post the large paintings completed over the next few days. I've also readied some paintings to be sold with full price donated to my non-profits listed on the left. I'll post them here for sale with a click thru to eBay. "Friar Tobey's sitting stones are hand selected to fit his position and the fountain bowl size. He's cooling his feet in the fountain's water after his day long walk between missions along the El Camino Real. You can purchase him at the Judith Hale Gallery in Los Olivos. The purchase price includes the bowl, fountain and sitting stones. He's about 12" tall. The bowl is
20" across. $2,100.
