Continuing the Demo.....

I've defined the leaf masses now....using about 8 or more colors of green. Also defined the limbs, trunks and starting to shape the grasses. The road has been put in. This is a large area to cover and is absorbing a lot of paint (and time!). Didn't get as far as I thought today. Many interruptions by our scheduled tree trimmer. Sorry about the glare on the palette knife applications. Tried to get around it, but it was too late in the day.
Here is the painting I did with Carol Swinney in Carmel, with a cat added. Sorry, it's sold.

"Story Teller" ©

$400.
High Fired Clay
12" tall x 9"
Hollow Built
No Armature Used

Before computers, before television, before radios, before telephones, before newspapers, and before the written word, there were "Story Tellers". They were the source for all history and the tribes knowledge of previous happenings. I've chosen to use a Chumash Story Teller here to symbolize the ancient method of passing on history. The Chumash are the Native American People of the California Central Coast.
I built this using my "Hollow Built" method with high fire clay. No armature was used.
