Lusting Completion . . .

Of Rooted in Perspective

Any artist will tell you that there always seems to be one more thing that will make his creation a bit better, hopefully perfect.

But there does come a point when he'll admit that it's time for completion. It's time to declare it finished.

Below is a picture of my latest completed sculpture. It's still in clay and will need to be cast in plaster so that I can attempt a clay duplicate of the original. Then it must dry and be fired twice.


But at least this phase is completed.

Lusting Mythos Arcadia

In Greece, on the central plateau of the Peloponnesus, the ancient district of Arcadia was isolated from the coast, surrounded on all sides by high mountains.The plateau is also subdivided by smaller ranges.

The Arcadians lived simple lives, untouched by the progress that marked the rest of Greece.

The name Arcadia thus came to be a symbol of ideal simplicity, rural beauty, and contentment.

It was represented as a kind of paradise in Greek and Roman poetry and Renaissance romances. Encyclopaedia Britannica .
