And now for something completely different. One of my few surviving sculptures. If you look at my posts from 1991, THE MAJORITY, you will see the central panel is a painting this sculpture was taken from. There are x's and o's, hearts and an eye in the palm. I have made several large scale sculptures over the years. This is the only one I have documented.
Working near the entrance of the Austin Children's Museum was a thing of pure joy. The kids wonder and excitement made me think of my own formative art experiences. Childhood is a time of realizing the power and magic of art. I was blessed by parents that encouraged my talents. How they found the time to recognize and support me, with seven other kids, has always left me grateful. This encouragement was reenforced by educators in elementary, jr. high, and high school. To this day I cannot type because Ms. Gerund (god bless her), at Johnston Junior High petitioned to allow me two semesters of freshman art. My birthdays were always filled with art supplies and books. I wanted to be an artist at an easel. That is what I saw in those kids eyes....mini me.
