Welcome Back!

It's been many years since I have posted anything on my Blog. I thought one lung cancer fight was enough, but I was wrong. It came back before I made my three-year "clear" anniversary. And it has taken three additional years to feel kinda (not normal). 

It feels great to have my creativity back, and I am creating so many beautiful pieces I have to share.

My Marine Life sculpture collection has really grown; Mom and the kids were born at the Big New Foundry in Los Angeles, and Master Patina Erin did a perfect job blending the golds, greens, blues, and the reef of Burnt Sienna and gold for the base. Excellent. I will present the Marine Life sculptures independently, keeping me in control of my work.

Did you know Garibaldi juveniles have brilliant blue spots all over them? They grow out of their spots.

Going through my Blog and reading some of my posts, it is important for people to realize

who I  am.

It's been almost a year...

The year was 2017, 

On the 8th of September 2017, I was diagnosed with Stage ONE Lung Cancer:
ADENOCARCINOMA: it's a silent tumor that doesn't have "noticeable" symptoms, only a slight cough. 

It's a new year, and I am ready for a fantastic adventure to Grand Rapids, MI.,for ArtPrize 10.      I leave in the morning and will enjoy keeping a blog on all the excitement of this celebration of life.

I will have my sculpture "The Fever" in my chosen building. BOB Big Ol Building. The artwork at Art Prize was voted upon; my number was 66676. Thousands of people from all over Central America came to this event. Thousands of artists and beautiful artwork. My Marine Life Sculpture of the Sting Rays was on display.

Learning the Process; "How Bronze Sculptures are Cast"

I have been asked many times the process in creating bronze. The first sentence I ask is, "How much time do you have?" Sharing the process of creating a bronze sculpture takes more than five minutes, its lengthy and very fulfilling. I found this site in Oregon that is very detail and not too wordy. It also has a bunny as an example, something we can all relate to. I hope you find the site informative.
