So this took about 3x longer than expected? I did it last night and it kept me up until 3-something… But hey, it is done now, and I am very pleased with the result! I am sure my prof will think it is pretty cool. I kind of needed to do the skull in hard sculpey on its own because there are bony protrusions which are not covered by any sort of skin and I wanted that to be evident at a glance.
I also did a couple of quick scapulas while waiting on the other parts in the oven, so those are the additional shapes in the last photo.
Sorry for the bad focus- I am still learning to use my new camera.

Ohio artist, Dennis Wojtkiewicz explores the sensitive nature of time in his oversized oil paintings of fruit. The transitory nature of his subject matter is encapsulated, transfixed and glorified with heightened photorealism. Light and translucence make these paintings glow. Nature’s perfect patterning allows each painting to take on a meditative quality.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
“Each painting is constructed by beginning with a monochrome underpainting in the complement of the featured subject. Subsequent layers of semi-opaque through to transparent colors follow with up to ten passes before the end result is achieved. The process is in essence a modified version of techniques used by Northern European Masters, Vermeer being of the greatest in influence.”
Instead of the usual rough and outdoorsy climbing wall, the Illoiha Fitness Club created this wall out of picture frames, mirrors, deer heads, bird cages and flower vases.
