Hello dear friends, may I present the next photograph of Wisdom in the making, this is a life size clay portrait I'm sculpting of my late Nan.
I took this photo from behind the sculpture on the left side of the portrait and it is to show the developing sculpting of the portraits hair style. You can also see a slight side profile of the face, the curls of the wavey perm are really taking shape.
Getting close to the finishing touches and then I will be able to present the final photograph of the finished portrait.
Hope you've had a good week and I wish you a great weekend, Take care.

Dear Friends I present a sculpture I sculpted of a life size snake , this is a Prairie Rattler Rattlesnake . I modelled this in oil based clay and then painted it with acrylic paints to give a total realistic finish and appearance . Snakes are probably my biggest fear so in a strange way this was a very interesting sculpture to create .
Hi dear friends, may I present the next stage of my sculpture Wisdom in the making, I'm really starting to sculpt the hair now.
The hair mass and volume has been added and its now all about creating the individual sections of the hair style. My late Nan had a slight perm look about her.
So it's going to be a lot of sculpting curls on curls kind of thing and breaking it into separate sections and bunches of curling tendrils.
It's surprising how much sculpting will go into trying to achieve that look. I look forward very much to showing you more, it won't be to long now until this portrait will be finished.
This photograph was taken from behind the left side of the portrait and shown as a black and white picture.
As always I hope you're having a great week, keep well and Take care.
Hello dear friends, may I present in the making photo no 2 of my new sculpture called The Lost Boy Of Venice. The base and upright tablet is now ready and I've currently added 38 leaf's to the base .
This has significance to the story of the Lost Boy Of Venice which I will explain in a later post. I've also added the little step that the little ghost boy will stand on, and the round circle up in the corner will become an item that the little boy will be holding.
The two screws will help to support the sculpt of the figure of the little ghost boy which I've now begun. I look forward to showing you the next photo very soon that will show the development of the sculpting of the little boy.
Hope you're keeping well, Take care dear friends 🙌🤗
Hello dear friends, may I present the next photo of my sculpture Wisdom in the making, this was taken from behind looking towards the right side of the face. I decided to show this photo as a black and white photograph, there's a real sense of reality developing now.
Soon when I walk round and face the sculpture it will be my late Nan's face looking back at me, as the likeness will now really start to develop. Soon hair mass will be added as this will be an important part of the process in achieving the likeness in the portrait.
I really look forward to showing you further developments on this sculpture very soon, Happy weekend to you dear friends, keep well and Take care.
Hello dear friends, may I present a black and white super close up of my sculpture called Tut. This is a new photograph of a previous sculpture from awhile ago.

Dear Friends I present an artistic photo of my sculpture The Two Little Puppies , this was life size and modelled in clay .
Hello dear friends, may I present the next photo of my sculpture Wisdom in the making. A portrait of a beautiful old lady is slowly forming and soon this will become a likeness of my dear late Nan.
I will show the next stage of this sculpture very soon, work will now start on really forming the contours of the face and adding the real details.
Soon I will start adding hair mass as this will help with achieving a real likeness. This is a standard workshop photo and will become one of many that will show this sculpture from the start to the finish.
Keep well and Take care.
