Capt John Lovewell's 1725 Clothing Arrived Today

Receiving and shipping today.. Received, the 1725 period clothing, that I ordered today.
The clothing was made by Niel Redmond, Little Orleans MD.
Went around showing people the clothing that asked to see it when I got it.. so no sculpting I'm afraid again. Still not feeling great but I had to get out of bed and just get busy. I may have overdone it.



Pictures of the painting of Capt. John Lovewell finished and in the current John Lovewells Lodge on Lake Tahoe California. This was painted by John Buxton of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

AnatomyTools.com New Female Figure Arrives Today.. A Friend's 1st Bronze



Got this email the other day

Mr. Lemon,
I'm so excited and couldn't wait to send these pictures to you. I feel like a kid in a candy store.(and I'm 67). As you can see, I finally put my little "Maidu Dancer" (California native) into bronze. Finished it last night with the foundry and will put a patina on it tonight. For my first clay to bronze ever, I'm pleased. You do know that you're my inspiration. Following your blog I've learned so much and I can't say enough "thank you's " , so... thank you again for your encouragement.
I should have started this 30 years ago!


Jerry
from Rocklin, Ca

These are photos of his finished bronze.

Bozeman Airport Medalions - William Clark's Portrait - As well as a very interesting shadow on the Madison River Today



I was driving to Bozeman Montana yesterday afternoon, and driving north east along the Madison River, when this shadow of a Bear's head caught my eye.. I nearly drove off the road. I came back to the same spot 24 hours later to see if I was imagining this. Well Not only did I see a bear, I saw a wolves head in the same shadow just a couple of minutes after the bear disappeared. Just gave me goose bumps.

Bozeman Airport Medalions - Sacajawea Finished today - Recieved Male and Female Skulls Today



I was asked by Jim Dolan, a Bozman Montana Artist, who creates welded sculptures (http://www.jimdolanart.com/), to help with a project he's doing for the Bozeman Airport. I'm doing 6 medallions of Lewis and Clark, Sacajawea, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Albert Gallatine. Merriwether Lewis, and William clark, along with Sacajawea, made up the "Corps of Discovery Expedition" (1804--1806). It was the first transcontinental expedition to the Pacific Coast by the United States. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson. Their objects were both scientific and commercial -- to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and to discover how the region could be exploited economically. Part of that expedition was to find the headwaters of the Missouri River. Three rivers formed the headwaters of the Missouri River and they were named after President Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin in July of 1805. Those headwaters are just 45 miles north of where I live. It's kinda cool.
