This is my sculpture of the 'Geneseo Bear" 9 inches high.
He is in for repairs as he jumped off a shelf. He is ok, just the street light is off kilter.
The Bronze Bear
The Bronze Bear Fountain is on Main Street, Geneseo, New York
Just off campus, in the center of Main Street in Geneseo sits the famous Bronze Bear statue. "The Bear"
also plays host to any number of spontaneous decorations and pranks throughout the academic year. A
story also circulates that one of the wealthy Wadsworth daughters saw the bear fountain in a small town in
Germany, fell in love with it, bought it, and sent it back to Geneseo in the early 19th century. This story is
unverified, but an excerpt from a history of the family that settled the valley implies that this is not true,
and that the fountain was designed and built for its current location: "[Main Street] is still dominated by a
drinking fountain for horses dedicated to Mrs. Emmeline Austin Wadsworth. For some obscure reason its
designer placed a short pole in its center on top of which sits a cunning little iron bear, who is generally
known as 'Aunt Emmeline'.

Still hard at work on my book. It is going much slower than I like, but the pages I have done I really like and am very happy with them.
I couldn't find a good cradle with any reference so I went out and bought some clay. I only needed a little but the smallest box was 10 pounds. So now I have about 9 3/4 lbs of clay left!
Above is my reference for my nature baby in his cradle. I didn't sculpt the face, and the clay needs to dry beor I can paint it. But now I have reference so I can push forward with more book drawings. Baby is in about a third of all images including the cover!
Wish me luck and creative flowing productive energy, the deadline looms!!! LOL

Pretty painting! Perfect for a baby's room. Have you seen the Kevin Costner movie, "Dragonfly"? It's very good.
