It's been a few weeks since I've updated my blog so thought I'd post a sketch I did a while back and today adding color. This is a design for my next large scale bronze sculpture. Fountain Faery will be holding a bronze dish with 2 strange looking birds, one telling a story to the other while the girl listens in amusement. I designed this piece late last year and after some time decided to have her holding a bird bath. Since making the two large gnomes and getting such a good response to them at the Loveland sculpture show this year I decided to try and go in the direction of faeries and gnomes. I've also gotten back into illustration trying to developing my own look using pencil and colored pencil.
