Here's my Shadow Shot Sunday #105


Sculptural shadows found in the gardens of a local art gallery. I've posted a variety of these garden sculptures on my other blog this past week if interested is seeing more. They sure are more impressive than my dinky pinch pot endeavours from way back in high school. I couldn't even master the basics of working with clay so I have the utmost respect for anyone who can create things of beauty from big blocks of goop.

Happy Sunday!

My sister worked with clay beautifully, but it's just not in my DNA. I always enjoy the shadow gallery ... especially when I've been too busy to visit everyone. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful shots (with links) and for hosting each week.
Hugs and blessings,

It isn't just clay for me--the physical universe and I just don't really see eye to eye. So yeah, I have a whole lot of respect for sculptors, or for anyone who can make things with their hands.

Cool shadows.

she is beautiful...very cool!! love to feel the clay in my hands...not sure i'd be that creative tho.

happy sss tracey...have a great week.

Lovely shadows today. I do envy those who can work in this medium.

Cassie said…
This is a swell Shadow Shot! My ceramic talents are limited too, but my son and his wife have both made wonderful clay scultures. Too bad that neither decided to make it their vocation. Now I'm going to visit your other blog. Happy SSS Tracey!!

Neat shot! I like the way she's painted in shadows. I used to do wheel-thrown pottery, though not very well.
May 23, 2010
Generik said…
Very nice, and I'm also mystified at how sculptors are able to create the works they do. With photography, you can at least see the scene you're trying to capture (whether you do it well or not is another matter); to be able to take a mass of clay or a block of marble and shape it into the thing you're imagining takes lots more talent than I'll ever have.

I love your shadows today -- as always! I'm totally fascinated by anyone who can turn a big lump into something so very beautiful! I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler! Your shot today is so lovely and how fun to find one like this! Enjoy your day, Tracy! Thanks as always for the fun!

Lovely sculpture. It is like life for this figure, the shadows showing normal adversity which is offset by the strong sun, the light of life. A wonderful picture, and post as always!

Great sculptural shadows! Really like such sculptures and it must b fantastic to roam around the garden of that local art gallery!

Enjoy your Sunday and have a good week!

I love these sculptures half hidden in a garden .. they are delights to suddenly see mixed in with plants !
I used to play with modeling clay but I know I could never do anything as gorgeous as that !
So .. I garden .. I call it "living art" working with plants ? LOL
Great shot girl !

How I'd love to have this clay lady hiding among the shrubs in my garden. She looks as though she wants to come home with me.

Great shadow for today Tracy!
Thanks for the mosaics - I love looking at them, as I can't usually get to all the great blogs.

You cast a shadow over my Sundays! That's great!

I am useless at working with clay. I've only had a few goes at it many years many years ago but still remember how awful I was! Your shot captures a gorgeous piece of artwork with intriguing textures!

And thanks so much for including my crazy house photo from last week in a mosaic!

Another beautiful week-end with your beautiful collage, as always.

Your shot is gorgeous. How I wish I could even mix the clay? ha ha...

Enjoy your Sunday Ms. Downunder.

What a pleasure to be here for the first of what I hope will be many Shadow Shot Sunday contributions. The collages are very dramatic. The sculptural head and surrounding shadows startling. I expect to walk into a magical tropical forest.

A very difficult medium to work with, you definitely have to have the eye...I'll stick to watercolors and just continue to envy the sculptor...cool shot though...have a great week ahead Tracie!

Lovely shadow shot. She is beautiful.
I am also in awe of people who can turn clay into something so amazing.

Thank you for featuring my shot in the collage,I was so excited to see it.

Have a great week.

I've added mine! :D

That sculpture looks very impressive indeed. I love playing with clay (well, does plasticine count?), and I wish I could make something as amazing as that.

I love playing with clay and in fact promised one of the grands we would make some next time she came over and get creative together. Great job on your pic and the whole SSS thing!

This sculpture is so cool. I tried working with clay, but I kept wanting to wash my hands!

Everyone should have some sculpture of some kind lurking in the garden. Thanks so much for SSS.

What an interesting sculpture. Her face look almost lifelike and there are lots of great shadows surrounding her.

I totally agree, I have a lot of respect for those that have the patience to create with their hands, the one and only time I tried to make anything with Clay it was a disaster!

Margaret Gosden said…
I love it your sculpture! My daughter once made a huge ancient looking urn at the School of Visual Arts. It was no dinky effort and I put it in the
middle of the garden- and it lasted for years, much
to her embarrassment!

Spadoman said…
Funny how the shadow parts the hair and makes the nose shine. How does the sun do that?

Peace.

What a great sculpture! Your collages are awesome as usual!! Happy Sunday to you!

P.S. I had trouble finding the shooter of photo 3 in collage 1. (top right). Seems to link to same shooter as photo 3???

Beautiful shadows. Some people are so talented *sigh*
Working with clay is something I'd love to do successfully. The trouble is, all my efforts turn out wonky. I thought the wheel would be good - and it is! - just not for me ;-)

that's a lovely shot - so serene

I've got my daughter's first "pot" (if you could call it that) on my desk at school...it holds paper clips. She apparently got the wheel going, got distracted, and her hand slipped, sending clay all over the room! Her pot is about 3 inches high. I like your snap today...looks like the palm frond is going to sever her head!

Beautiful shadow shot! Garden sculpture is always fun. Yes, I'm really not much good at handling "big blocks of goop," either, but I really love playing with it.

Very nice shadows here, too.

Yup. I respect a person who works well with clay, too. I'm good at making clay blobs... not much of a market for that, is there?

As for this particular sculpture... I love the facial expression. It looks like a mixture of serenity and mischievousness. Great combination!

What a cool bust that is! Yes, I totally agree - utmost respect for anyone who can make sculptures - 3-D is beyond me!

So sorry to hear you've had the 'flu!!!! It's a bit alarming to hear actually - so early in the season - makes me want to rush over to the doctor and get my shots as of yesterday! I hope you're on the mend!

Yes, I too was illin' - terrific migrain type headache (I'm not a headache kind of gal really) and awful stomach problems (I won't go into further detail!). It was a bug going around school it turns out. But I'm OK now touch wood whistle!

Have a lovely week - love your collages here as always! XOXO's
