Well, I’ve just ordered some sculpture tools and clay from the art supply store today. Bronze will be a new adventure for me! A number of respected western artists made both paintings and bronze works and were very successful at it, so I suppose I could give it a try.
I did dabble in clay and plaster sculpture a few years ago when we taught classes in our gallery, but I hadn’t thought to actually become a "sculptor" until recently. The blame for that really goes to a few friends of mine
. Some time ago, Shawn Stewart was a resident sculptor at a gallery I was in and really encouraged me (and the rest of my family) to try bronze, but it wasn’t until Bill and Scott from Galleries West in Jackson Hole (where I currently show my paintings) talked to me about it that it sounded like a realistic possibility. So…. I will be starting with a large game mammal, and we’ll see how things develop!!
