My very first clay project! Wrapped around a ballon to make a hippopotamus bank! Never used for saving money, hung around my houseplants for 36 years! Most of my clay projects have been knocked over or dropped, but hippo keeps hanging with me!

Hippo looks shy and very sweet. I like the glaze too. Hope she lasts and lasts...

Using my practice of quick poses in life drawing, I opportune to experiment with colors and differing line textures to recreate quickly the effects of light on the spiritual essence of the human form. My intention is to pull the viewer into following line, breathing with it's form, knowing it's actual beauty.

Perhaps Hippo will remind you to laze around in the pool.
He's wonderful!
