36" x 18" polymer clay with acrylic on wood (on small easel) (probably not the best way of displaying this, perhaps will redo when there's a better choice)

I like the colors, Dave. There's warm earthiness to it as is. The face is excellent. A photo or two of it hanging sans easel would probably work since I am supposing it is made to hang. Hope all is going great. i see you've been busy. :)

Artist Reply: This is an old one from 2004 . I never had a chance to take a picture of it and I had it in storage when I came from LA and just dragged it out now.. unfortunately I didn’t have enough wall space suitable for it . When I do, I’ll take a better photo of it and switch the photos . I stopped working in polymer clay because the fumes are toxic when you bake it so you should never use your oven you use for food. Probably best to have a separate oven outside. The Japanese paper clay is way better. And you don’t need an oven for it.

Reminds of a folklore ritual idol offering three choices to the worshipper.

Artist Reply: Thanks Nikolay, it has a folkiness to it. I wasn't sure about the colors though ... I may repaint it again ... but it is what it is right now : )
