SCULPTURE?!?!?

What am I doing sculpting? Trying to understand my painting better, or at least that's how I started. However, it turns out that I LOVE sculpting. It's addictive! Very tactile! I'm taking a figure sculpture class at the Art Center this semester from the very talented, Chris Slatoff. You can see one of his pieces at: http://saintfelicitas.org/Userdocs%20Church/Bulletin/FrontBulletin.pdf He's an excellent teacher and attracts a talented, close-knit group of students. I'll post more as we go. Each of the two sculptures posted below were accomplished with a live model over the course of ~15 hours.
