I have been focusing so hard on this piece. I have no time to step away from it and look from a far. I have been engrossed in each aspect and planning my next move and what the next thing i can work on while one dries. It's that hurry up and wait that i love and hate about making sculptures. I love the process and i love seeing the end result. And hell, I love the problem solving as well. And of course, i love the mess. It drives me somewhat mental, putting something down and not finding it right away, but to sit in my mess of saw dust and power tools..... ahhh. If only the room was a bit larger. I am spilling out into the living room. i am doing the painting there, due to the sawdust and debris in the other room. But yes, it is close to the end and i can see the final result. I never sketch out my sculptures. I see it in my head and if the end result changes, then so be it. It is part of the evolution of the piece. It has to grow up and change. But amazingly, this one hasn't. This one has remained very similar to my main vision. It excites me. To see the colors and shapes come together. i am very very happy with it so far. I have little things to finalize, but then i can varnish the entire piece and call it done. Sigh...... So i really can do it. I can start and finish a sculpture in less than 2 months! It doesn't have to take a year to make one. This gives me hope and inspiration. I can do it.
