The calm before the storm...

Three carved niches are like three fresh canvases offering endless possibilities.  Metallic paint and patinas are a new exploration for me with the skulls.  Initially I hesitated to mess with the beautiful bone skulls - their natural state a true thing of beauty.  But I am an artist driven by curiosity and willing to push boundaries (even willing to make mistakes).  Thus - a new venture with color on bone... Metallic paints and patinas on the skulls = a new possibilities with composition and feeling.
