Merman Guarding The Treasure - Sculpture Finished

Now available for sale in my ETSY store Click HERE to go there

This video shows an all around view and detail of my original Merman Sculpture Assemblage.
The sculpture is about 15 inches tall and about 15 inches deep, and weights 12 pounds.

I started with sculpting the head and then the body, after that I decided on a support base and the eventual water environment. The whole project includes found items, plants, sculpted parts, painted and gilded stone... and more.
There is also embedded in the water (epoxy resin) a lidded box that would be great to hide an engagement ring or small gift!

Memories of Provence

I'd be leisurely walking back to my gite, taking my time, sitting under trees and chewing on small blades of grass while looking up in to the sky. After a while I put my watercolor pad under my arm, smiling from ear to ear, hurrying just a bit, to get home just before dark. A light gust of wind separates me from my straw hat, and blows it just across the row of lavender behind me. I Leave it without worry, knowing it will still be there tomorrow, I'll fetch it then when I come back. Back in my gite, I'd eat something simple, break little pieces off freshly baked baguette, I love that crunchy noise it makes, remembering my grandmother, who like me, loved plain bread and a glass of wine. Later I'd fall in to bed, thinking about how lucky I am, to be in this heavenly place. ~~~~~ The next day I do it all over, walking on air, free in the countryside among the wild lavender and olive trees.
