I started a thread a long time ago with some of my work. I have changed a lot of that work; I have taken it in a slightly different direction. I would love to hear some opinions on it, mainly from a birder's perspective. Many people I have encountered have purchased a mug or platter(which are decorated with one bird or another) because they know someone who loves watching the birds, but I have yet to meet a birder who is enthusiastic about my work...or maybe I should say I have yet to meet a birder who has purchased my work.
What I have posted is of a sculpture I did recently. Two crows-just fledged. I saw them on cool afternoon huddle together in almost the exact position these two pieces are placed. The photos are not that great; I was at a show trying to sell some work and realized I had no record of these two guys and quickly took a couple of shots.
So tell me what you think. Please be completely honest. My style is not representational, although I like to keep it close. The nature of the clay comes out and I like the raw shapes and curves and marks that, I like to think, bring out the essence of the subject(s). But any constructive critism is very welcome. Improvement and change is always something to strive towards.
Thank you
