Summer Sculpture fun

Here is a progress dump of sculpture stuff from the end of the semester and into the summer.

Here is the cow head in oil clay. I showed this one in an earlier post.
It is larger than my previous cow heads and is meant to replace them.

Beginnings of mother mold. it will be 3 parts

Home made Chevant melting box so that I dont have to buy a
toaster oven. I am starting to work with hard chevant clay.

Looking like Sir Patric Stewart.  I think I will keep working
on him as such. Just practicing detail with the chevant on a
small scale.. no real plans for this.

Small clay model for my large foam dog I was working on.
It's raining foam!!- I want to continue with this project but it
is so messy!

 

Yep. Those are the highlights. Pretty simple. I have been doing more painting than sculpting this summer but I am playing with the chevant and finishing up the new cow heads.

Art Focus!

Here is another progress pic of my oil painting in progress... it's been slow and steady. I have been working on it here and there while getting some other work done this month. I added some detail to the water droplets on the cows nose today. :)

That made me pretty happy to see. :)

The artist talks and reception were held this last Thursday March 27th, 2014. The show will be on display until April 4th, 2014 so make sure to go check it out!

I thought I wold come on here and post some photos from the show!
Some of these I did not take I am using some photos that other peoples friends and family took at the show. Others I took with my cell phone. I hope to use a nice camera and take a few more photographs before the show comes down.

Momentum OKC

 

Momentum was very fun. It was held at the Oklahoma City Farmers Market. There were several artists there that I knew from OSU. There was live music, food trucks, and lots of interesting people and art. My piece ended up selling which was very nice. I also got to attend an artist tax workshop.

I went right from Momentum back to finishing up working on pieces for my senior Capstone Exhibition at OSU.

This is the postcard for the OSU senior capstone show. It features images from all 9 of
the artists in the show.

Here is the back of the postcard for my show it features a close up of my more recent cow painting as well as the date and time of the reception.
