Sculpting Marble Again!

After nearly 10 years of alabaster and other 'softer' (ha!) stones, I've started a new marble sculpture. Lugged a beautiful 120-lb. block of Portuguese Rose marble - a gift from my mentor, Philip Pavia 20 years ago - up to Art City to get started. The stone is so beautiful, when I broke into it I cried. I could feel Philip's spirit watching over me, encouraging me. Just finished re-reading Irving Stone's 'Agony and the Ecstasy' too, so maybe that helped get me going. Will keep you posted on my progress.
