Aunt Regina's Apples

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.

We worked from life, but here's a photo of the still life.

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.
