To quote my mentor, Fritz White, “Being a sculptor is not for sissies”.
It’s been a long time since I’ve struggled with a piece as much as I have with this one. I’ve built it up and torn it down at least six different times.
Yesterday, the words echoed through my mind “nobility of concept”. They were the words of an artist, Garland Weeks, who I took a workshop from 18 years ago. That one phrase assisted me to make a few adjustments for the better.
I’ve learned that a huge part of what I do is “listening to the whispers”.

Scott, I’m going to have to make a weekly appointment with you to come and see each of these in person. This one is stunning in the photos, so I can’t imagine how stunned I’d be seeing it in person.

Wow Scott, I paint horses all the time and the muscular anatomy is always a challenge. I love this piece and enjoyed seeing all the’stuff’ in the background. I see some cast that I coulld use. Always enjoy your post and art.
