What a great sculpture. We have two rust metal birds in our backgarden, but I love this one. Looks like the 'roadrunner'from the cartoon.
What an amazing young artist, love his name too. Boy, I wish we could people like him to come to our art meetings. Would certainly help us to think outside of the box!

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.
