I recently returned from 12 days visiting relatives in Ohio. While in Ohio, I stayed with my aunt Regina who was a gracious hostess, taking me around to visit people and places. It was so much fun being with her, sharing memories and getting re-acquainted. We had non stop adventures, and even managed to take time for a painting. Below is a painting done on her kitchen table which now hangs in her dining room. Hopefully when she sees the painting, she will remember me and the fun times we had.

Currently, I am diligently working on "Enlightenment" in my studio. I have chosen to finish the sculpture with a relatively smooth finish which is very time consuming. Sometimes it feels like it will never end. A love/hate relationship at times. The only part I really don't like is that I want to finish so that I can start another sculpture or painting. I will share photos of the clay when it is finished and ready for the foundry to cast it in bronze. Wishful thinking is that it will be in a week or two. Be sure and check back.
