This statue is supposed to be the actual likeness of Joan Of Arc. The artist created this statue after meeting Joan Of Arc and wanted to preserve it for history. The identity of this statue was hidden by giving it another name because the artist knew that it would be destroyed if it were revealed to be the actual bust of Joan of Arc. It survived this long under another name. The Joan of Arc collector that showed this picture to me, told me the entire history behind this statue and where it is now, but I can't remember all the details. When I get the info again, I will post it here. I am fascinated by it. I have painted portraits of Joan Of Arc many times and am excited to know that this is what she may have actually looked like.

" I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable would not remove my hostility to it. The pains which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity towards it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further. It is so distinctly a matter of feeling with me, and is so strong and so deeply-rooted in my make and constitution, that I am sure I could not even see a vivisector vivisected with anything more than a sort of qualified satisfaction."

Not much to say except that yesterday was so windy here in Los Angeles, probably the windiest day of the year. All of my plants fell down like struck bowling pins on my front porch. Tonight I am in my studio, at work on a new commission for a church that is turning out very well. I worked all yesterday afternoon on it and an hour tonight. I am deluged with all kinds of work and could keep busy all the time but this weather is so wonderful it's hardly suitable for shutting myself in the studio all day. After a couple of hours in the sunshine at the beach it takes a terrific amount of willpower to pull myself away and go back indoors. I think I'll start taking my portable easel out when it's not so windy.

These were delicious. They melt in your mouth!

Small study in oil of a Rembrandt portrait, purchased from the studio by a local architect.

I am very fascinated by this gargoyle and by these types of ancient gargoyles found in and around Europe.

These are some of my drinking potions, for whatever ails ya! I don't drink soda and I make my own fruit juice. Some of my favorite tea is made from straight cinnamon sticks boiled in water. So cleansing and delicious. Try it!

Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.

This is an ACEO I did for a $100.00 for a collector in Japan. He asked "Please make me aceo of Girl With Pearl Earring, not like Vermeer, but Christian Bach version." An aceo is a small painting that measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches typically painted on card stock or bristol paper. He's collected 3 of these this year, the same painting, of course each one comes out slightly different, I wonder what he does with them? Maybe resells them?

I couldn't make up my mind, leather (faux), lace, or ribbons. So I wore them all! If you like these shoes you can find them here AMI CLUB WEAR they have many faux leather shoes and handbags at fantastic prices! Check them quick, they sell out fast.
