While painting an outline on this one particular stone weighing 400 lbs, my professor took notice of this new undertaking.

Professor Sussman had walked around my stand looked at me then told me to stop carving this stone.  That I did as all his comments captured my attention.  My plans on the particular stone were to carve a dragon like figure, mouth wide open with a set of fangs above and on the lower jaw.  Teeth & tongue of a lively creature spun from my imagination spurred on from my recent trip to Chichen Itza Mexico.

So of course I was struck by such a passionate suggestion that I stop carving this stone, and to leave it exactly as it was at that time.

My respect for Professor Sussman’s expertise did allow me to complete this sculpture and call it complete.

Ive named this sculpture “Temple” and after we did set up our class show last night have begun to see the strength in this completely unplanned sculpture in `Indiana Limestone`.

It does have primitive air & if I may say a bit sexy as well as religious now that it has been set in full view in the gallery.

We can do nothing of any value without God’s help.

All our human relationships depend on this.

When we let God’s spirit rule our lives, we learn how to get along with others and how to help them.
