One of three photos I have of a piece that was destroyed in an earth quake long ago. First thing I ever carved in plaster, I did no drawings in advance, and the hollowed out round scoops were an after thought that never entered my head when I first started carving it. I say all this because it was a unique and beautiful piece then and my fond feelings for it have not changed. I recently did a larger version in wood and used power tools to make it. It does not have the same energy though for a variety of reasons. I like to tell people if there was one thing I could show them that proved I have an artist’s talent, this would be the one piece.

I don’t think you have a lot to prove regarding talent! You seem to be multi-talented, and this piece is no exception. Shame it was lost :(
Thanks very much, at the time I made this there were few drawings or paintings and very little photography to recommend me.
Just gorgeous!
Beautiful organic flow in this…i would be proud if this was mine too…shame you lost it, but i know you have thought of doing another one.
No proof required – this is just wonderful art – congrats
Beautiful work MtnMan…a pity that it was destroyed, such a lovely piece…
wow! out of plaster!? thats so cool! i havent carved into plast before, just used it for casts of various sorts! i adore the shape of this. is the wooden version in your gallery too?
I see why you loved it, mate. It truly has a deep beauty, and I’m sure you poured a lot into it. The shot you have taken is excellent, by the way, and really does convey the essence of the sculpture.
This is so smooth! love the shape and the photography!
