New Sculptures with Hands



Purple Painting Party



This is a closer view of the commission I recently completed for a private home here in the Santa Barbara Area. The overall piece measured to the edges of outstretched hands approx 5.5' high x 3.5' wide.




I worked with the couple to first measure the area where they wanted to hang the piece and determine the size it should be and then get their wishes for color and what kind of overall impact the wanted.




This is the piece that started everything . This is the first wall-hanging hand sculpture. The hands are all vintage ladies gloves filled with expanding urethane foam and sealed with shellac, clear sealer, gesso, the painted with acrylics and varnished with golden uv protective varnish.

These pieces are joyous, positive, provocative and definitely not landscapes.
