Sculpture: "Still" with Flowers and Butterflies

Part of the "Still" series. I have been making these meditation figures since 2006. Inspired by Chinese tomb figures, the original inspiration was actually a musician holding cymbals, but I have always regarded them as meditating figures. I hand build these hollow.

This meditation figure is decorated with transfers of turquoise flowers and highlighted with 4 soft gold butterflies. The figure sits with it's feet tucked under it's seat in a kneeling position. 7" deep by 7" wide and 14" in height! I cannot stress enough how unique each one of these figures is.

Surface is a wonderful medley of soft creamy whites, turquoise and copper streaks giving it an antiqued air. This is a lighter, softer glaze palette and I am quite happy with the results.

As with all of my sculptures these are meant for indoor enjoyment only.
