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 Beauty . . .

Where at least one person gets the point !

Lusting Balance

How Many Angels Can Dance On The Head Of A Pin?


Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance. ~Epicurus


It is better to rise from life as from a banquet - neither thirsty nor drunken. ~Aristotle


Enough is as good as a feast. ~English Proverb


Even nectar is poison if taken to excess. ~Hindu Proverb


I had something else in mind, but, OK.

Lusting Living . . .

By the sea


White and sculpted,


With rooms facing a view of blue.


A touch of rough stone,


Mixed with nature's timber.


Definitely my kind of living!

Lusting Objects . . .

Of Wonder


The Grape


The Airplane


The Globe


The Turtle

Lusting Beauty . . .

Between the lines.

Lusting Flesh . . .

And Stone


As many know me by my Deviant art name of flesh2stone,


It wouldn't be a leap,


To understand my affinity,


For the related phrase of flesh and stone.

Lusting Spirals

From our tiny DNA helix,


To the starry heavens above.


From curly, tenacious vine tendrils,


To long extinct molluscs now used as sculpture.


From the twirling artistic focus of a piece,


To a shiny slide on which to pose.


Or merely as an accessory to be held aloft;


The beautiful spiral has an endless array of examples in our lives,


Even if it's only a practical way to move from floor to floor.

Lusting Ancient Athletes

Most everyone is familiar with Discobolus,Greek 5th century by Myron.


Below, is a lesser known version known as Standing Discus Thrower,
By Naukydes, circa 420-400 BC.



Its discovery was made by David Hamilton in the
Galliens-Villa on the Appian Way in 1771.

Some beautiful detail shots of a later version are shown below.
