This is an oil-based sculpture of the puppy that was owned by the drummer of my son Lindsay's band that plays at Jo's every Sunday afternoon. I fell in love with it and took a bunch of pictures thinking I would sculpt it later. A year later, the puppy died and the drummer asked me if I had done the sculpture yet. I had not. But now I have. The little one was a model of the bigger one, but my cat disfigured it. Haven't had the money to bronze it yet.

These are the Wood Nymphs. I would like to see them at the Arboretum, double sized and bronzed. I need to contact them.

This farmer was forgotten about. He dried, unfinished, and the whole thing cracked into several large pieces. I didn't like it anyway, and threw it away. Glo, my teacher at CAC (Creative Arts Center) saved the pieces and fired them. We glued it back together and it is now in my front yard patio.

Inderpal Singh, Sihk 12"x24"x26" Terra Cotta


This man is a Sihk from India. One day I was eating at an Indian
restaurant where there was a table of 12 Sihks having lunch. This
man was at the head of the table. His face was so interesting that
I asked the restaurant owner if he would inquire about my taking
some photos of him. I happened to have, in my camera, at that
moment, a number of photos of other sculptures I had made. The
men passed that camera around the table talking in Sihk language,
pointing, commenting, all very excited. The man I was referencing
was the "elder" and was returning to India the next day. They were
honored that I would want to create his likeness in clay.
