The Italian word rontondo (round) coined the term tondo and was used during the 
Renaissance for religious and mythological imagery.  The circular shape has 
challenged sculptors and painters since Greek antiquity.

I have been influenced by classical sculpture since my student years 

at the Kansas City Art Institute and the time-honored tondo seemed 

like the perfect format for my new creation – “Flightless Tondo”.  

The inspiration for the bas relief was provoked by the discovery of 

a dead bird in snow under my studio window.

#755 Work in progress - Pair of Doves

I hear them every day outside my studio window:

Here's this mornings effort . . . a clay sketch of a pair of doves - the bird of peace.
