Nice sculpture indeed. If I wasnīt told that is a double bassist, and told itīs a dwarf hiding behind a big bottle, I would have bought it.
Makes the thing more interesting, though. Thatīs what Art is supposed to be.

That's great when one artform inspires another, and I think she captured the bass vibe very well. Were you the model for this one? |

Ah Jefiejeff, for you it's going to be very sweet: just send one of your average bass to me and I'll return the coffin with a bronze masterpiece neately packed in it ! Just kidding. The foundery ask the price of a Palatino to cast something like that.
Yes, JohnChris, it's definitely more inspired than the usual music related artifacs such as those I saw on Royal in New Orleans, last spring. Beware though that if you hold this kind of speach in public you'll be automatically categorized as a snob, especially if you mentionned earlier that your preference for jazz or classical music (bluegrass is cool).
Anyway, many thanks on her behalf for the kind words. She deserves encouragements... and more customers ! |

I don't have an exact price for it right now, it depends on the foundery. If you are seriously interested send me a PM and we'll get a quote. |

Rosa evolved that way and although she certainly had a taste for visual art when we first met, she was not yet a sculptor. You'll appreciate that there is a significant amount of self teaching in her evolution, a personal determination to embrace a discipline.
Thanks for the good word, Paulo. |
