Far Apart and Yet Togetherby =ArtyAMG

Traditional Art / Sculpture / Figurative

TITLE: We Are Far Apart and Yet Together
(Modern Dancer Limited Editions #1 and #2)

My parents and I live on opposite coasts of the U.S. I have not seen them for over a year, and so it was really a treat to have them visit me and my family this week.

Both figures were painted as I enjoyed my parents' company. The red dancer figure was painted to represent an Asian dancer, and it is a present to my mom.

WORK DESCRIPTION:
This figure pair is a uniquely painted version of the 'Modern Dance Free Expression' sculpt. The figures is approximately 1/8-scale, measuring 7-7/8 inches (20 cm) tall. I sculpted this figure, mold and cast them in resin by myself, and painted the resin figures. The sculpting process can be seen here: 'From Gymnast to Ballerina WIP'.

The subsequent mold-making and casting these two figures took place from 8/28/09 to 9/11/09. The model prep took place from 9/14 to 9/22. And the painting of the two figures were expedited and done at the same time from 9/23 to 9/24, so that I could give the red figure to my mom. I keep the blue-green figure.

Really good job Honey, both looks so realistic and a really wonderful color choice.

I can really understand that you parents are very happy about it. ^-^

There is no way i could give you a proper critique but what i can say is in your comments.
umm
WOW i thought it was photo of some dancers i'm in dance classes as a friend of mine owns the studio so i get classes for her music mixing for competition.
Anyway you captured a great dance move on top of the body of the dancers.!
i'm amazed how you got the little detials. like the added skin near the rear end when the leg lifts just amazing!
