Low Rent Renaissance

This little wall hanging is made of Super Sculpey and painted with acrylics. It is about 6" tall by 6" wide from his right elbow to the tip of his guitar.

This piece is approximately 12" long by 10.5 inches wide by 13 inches tall. The artist stands about 10.5" tall from sole to tip of brush. The figures are Super Sculpey over aluminum wire armature, painted with acrylics.  

These large pieces involve sculpting mortar over burlap infused with industrial grout. The largest piece (below) is about 24" wide. All are designed to hang on a outdoor wall or in the garden.   Ra -- sun god. A merman Mushrooms -- burlap-crete stems, concrete tops. Per request for my wife's recent birthday.

Made with untreated burlap soaked in concrete fortifier, saturated with industrial grout, and layered many times with mortar. These steps insure a strong planter that will last forever. "Sculpting" mortar over a concrete base.  

 

This little swimming pool -- about 12' x 6' x 4.5' deep-- is almost thirty years old and has been refurbished several times. It needed some patching and painting and we almost did away with it, but in the end couldn't part with it. We used an epoxy pool paint this time -- a deeper blue and very pretty, I think. Small, but perfect for a dip in the evening.  Here is a younger me digging that hole.  Paradise days -- my lovely wife and our good dog, Henry.
