Thank you for your kind comments Claudemir, Ngaire, Julie, and Alexandra. I try to do something experimental with every piece I make - still, it is always better to work from a model otherwise I start sculpting what I think I know rather than what is real.
Here is something I just started that is much darker and true to life than the last fun piece. It is a self portrait. I like to do one every 5 or 10 years because it's great practice and good for progress comparisons to earlier years. I will probably leave this one fairly rough, but it still has a ways to go.
