"He often looked upon the great blue and wondered what it would be to fly; No worries, cares, or consequence. He saw the birds, those fragile things, and knew he could never fly with wings. Gazelle with their poise and grace, but even they couldn't reach such space. The bugs, the seeds, the leaves on the wind- none were enough for him! And then he thought, "The clouds, the clouds!" Magical and full of life, there they waltzed so formless and free! That, he mused, is what I want to be."

This big guy is part of a series I'm playing with called "Dreamers." I've wanted to experiment with combining my sculpture with my 2D painting skills and he is just one of many. The large ones will get inset gemstones and cabochons. Do you see something different in his dream? I had several different interpretations from clouds, to coral and the ocean, and remembering family.

The Dreamer [#1], 13" tall. Made of 2 gourds, wire, paperclay, epoxy clay, glass eyes, amazonite gemstone, and acrylic paint. For sale
