#100 Remarque: "Westwind"

Westwind is the head study for a new sculpture which
will be introduced at the Masters of the American West 
show at the Autry Museum in Feb.  2012.


The new work revisits the pose I used on an earlier piece entitled Charger and for now remains untitled.


Note the two different types of clay being used during modeling: I blocked the piece in with the yellow clay and changed to a softer clay for the finish work.  The two different clays impart different surface textures.

#99 Remarque: "Charger"

  Ten years ago our Morgan gelding was used as the model
  for Charger.  My goal was to idealize the animal and create
  a powerful image.

  I am preoccupied with modeling horses and consciously stylize
  my designs.  My obsession with modeling horses continues to       lay a thorough foundation for my art, just as playing scales
  does for a musician.

  In my opinion, horses and the human figure are the most
  difficult creatures to transform into a visual expression -
  perhaps it's because they are both so beautiful.
