Hi Ken:
This bust turned out so beautifully, Ken. I would think since women,
especially these brave and young Russian women from that terrible war
on the Eastern Front, would have such small and delicate features, such
as the nose, ears, mouth, that it would be that much more difficult, than
rendering the face of a man. This obviously shows what skill and talent
that you possess. Congratulations on a job well done.
The subject matter is one I hope you will expand upon; and I see this
particular rendering as a way of paying homage to the brave and
dedicated Russian women, from so long ago. We need to remember
them, and the sacrifices that made, as I see it. That horrific nightmare
exacted a terrible toll. Knowing that she also was killed in combat, then
this bust, for me, will be a reminder, that:
"Freedom is not free"
Thank you, sincerely,
rick
