Not the best full figure, free standing sculpt I have ever done, but I’m happy enough with it to A.) paint it fully, and B.) display it in public for all to see. I have a few back up pieces I could have submitted if this one fell completely flat, but I think it has some redeeming qualities at least. If I had to do it over again, I would definitely make some adjustments, and different choices, but here we are. Beside my photography entries I am just about done. I might have some brownies to enter too, but we’ll see just how busy the lead up to the fair actually is.
As far as my usual sculpting goes this turtle is fairly plain. No major embellishments like detailed armor, or knick-knacks and pouches on the belt. No weapons even. I’m not totally comfortable working in epoxy, so I put it to rest once I’d had enough of working on it to make it at least feel somewhat complete as a thing. My paint job leaves much to be desired, but whatever. I don’t flog myself off in public as a painter. I like to paint, same as I like to sing, doesn’t make me much of either in the public eye.
It is Tuesday. I am moving ahead at a decent pace on my report, so that’s great. I had a heck of a day yesterday, getting through twenty of the thirty five pages I have left. Still a long row to hoe today, but at least I can see the end in sight! That’s gotta be worth something. Small early wins makes it easier to focus and stay on task. If it fights me every step of the way I am more likely to drag my feet and slow walk the entire project out of frustration. I could still need tomorrow morning, but that remains to be seen.
Tonight is climbing with my youngest, so I have until about 6:20 pm to work on it this afternoon. A long day, but potentially worth it to finish a first draft early in the week.
