This is my second head, which is better than the first. I can only hope that I will keep getting better.

What I see there is a contemplative face with a van Gogh aura. Beautiful piece of art...R

Thanks Hayley! Hope to do a third sculpture before the year is out. Thanks drindl skirt! There is an old saying that it takes ten years to be really good at something. I'm just starting this journey. I agree.
Thanks Michelle! Thanks Spike! It's a funny story. The ear was in the wrong dang place, so I tore it off and the clay was too dry to fashion another one. ; )
