The first mornings work
Filling in the nose and more contour lines.
Afternoon's work - Building up the forehead, jowls and neck.
Day 2 - adding a body and legs.
Head on view. - reinforcing some wires for support.
Right view - a little squished. I will fix it later.
Left view- Still needs work but it is a start - she is a little pudgy.
Day 3- more reinforcing and bending. She is slowly coming alive. coming along.
Day 4 - I am liking this and wondering if I should stop or keep building.
Playing with the water spray and trying to decide if I have over worked the piece. And yes, it is over done. Tomorrow I will cut out some of the wire.
Oh yes, I Over did it- too much 🙃 must remove wires in the hind end.
Finished piece I think.
This sculpture is part of my shake shake shake works series .
This is a screen shot of Kitty last Easter at the dog park. I took it from Griffin's video of Kitty shaking off water. This screen shot is the inspiration for the first wire sculpture.
This is one of the experiments I did to creat the water spraying off her coat as she shook.
Front view- see the water spray as her head shakes one direction and back legs shake in the other direction. It is amazing how dogs can move in two different directions at the same time.
Every dog needs a ball.
