Oils The General

[Renéduret]

Started on a new bust:

regards,

Ooh, he's a mean looking son-of-a-gun!

Is the one eye blind ?

 

[Renéduret]

yes Gordy, think that will enhance the drama, especially when his working eye has it's monocle.

maybe the finishing looks unnatural this way and I will go for another eye.
( he lost his eye probably during a fencing game at Heidelberg or some piece of shrapnell during WW I)

maybe it's too much, this marble.

[Renéduret]

unintended!

really, the resemblance is remarkable...never played this game either.

Think there is a certain archetype amongst German officers that appears collectively in artists' minds.

Do you have prepared glass for his monocle ?

Cool, but I am waiting for the Ralph

 

[Renéduret]

yes yes Darko..

he has his monocle, but hard to see, just right..

Ralph will be on his way.


but still...a bit of paint is really finishing on one's sculpt!
