#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.

# 751 "Night Owl"

Loose is how it looks . . . not how it's done.

This sketch is a workshop demo created from life at the Brookgreen Gardens zoo aviary.

While I do many clay sketches in the field, in the studio, and during workshops, I deem 

only a handful worthy of casting in bronze.  I modeled "Night Owl" in approximately 

25 minutes on a very warm, sunny day which caused the clay to be very soft and juicy.
