Fortune

This evening I had the nagging feeling like I should really get to work in the studio.  This was despite taking care of my flu stricken 3 year old daughter all day, with a restless night sure to follow. 

Any excuse was put to shame when I naively opened my fortune cookie from earlier in the night...

While I have several commissions coming up in the near future, nothing is officially being "waited for" at the moment. Regardless, the tone of the those words set me hard at work on my ongoing series.

Speaking of which, here is an image of one of my 4 "Odes" in progress. I'm sure it will look quite a bit different in it's final form. I'm also working on the next 2 reliquaries and a few small pieces. Just in case anybody is waiting for any of these things...

For just about as long as I cen remerber there has been a catalogue in my mind of certein pieces at the Philadelphia museum of art. I believe I took my first school trip there in 5th grade. I have gone back many many times since.

Some struck me because of their obvious beauty and some just struck me and I was not sure why.

This pieces falls into the later category,  but as long as I can remember, this piece has been a part of that internal catalogue...
