</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>It has been a restless night. I have watched 2:00am come and
go. I look at the ceiling as it hits 3:00, then 4, and five. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I am uneasy, unsettled, there is a feeling of something
haunting me, pulling at me. In the back of my mind something is not right. No,
something is missing. I have started to sculpt the Patriot Woman for the ORWM,
but it doesn’t feel right. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Something important is missing. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Then it hits me. Like the proverbial ton of bricks. That aha
moment. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgov-AfkeLjVWIB4ve-PCGecMMciblC2BlwMievWKluHeGWPXgWse1FRXVnASm5HkgC9foh4nJO03DHE6iv2LyvsAysyyyUqo-ZamWFp4UrgaI2cLeyC7JpxZmU63Z5KwoL5_-wSzincyY/s2048/orwm8-01-17-frontsm.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1079" data-original-width="2048" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgov-AfkeLjVWIB4ve-PCGecMMciblC2BlwMievWKluHeGWPXgWse1FRXVnASm5HkgC9foh4nJO03DHE6iv2LyvsAysyyyUqo-ZamWFp4UrgaI2cLeyC7JpxZmU63Z5KwoL5_-wSzincyY/w400-h211/orwm8-01-17-frontsm.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The Memorial is not complete. </span><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The Memorial is missing its true purpose, its true reason to
exist. It talks a good talk, but it falls short on delivering its promise. And
now I know what it has been missing from the very start. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>From its first inception I have spent many hours walking
through the Memorial in my mind. As I walked, I added walls, deleted them,
moved them around to form a path to follow. I could see the story begin to
evolve. From the very first rallying cry of the Join or Die symbol on the
floor, I walk over the stars placed in the concrete and around the thirteen
benches. I see the changes of thirteen separate colonies becoming states and
uniting into one country. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I touch the cool red stone walls and feel and see the
timeline of this young experiment, this young democracy this young Republic. I
read the words engraved in the stone about the struggles of the people as
England tries everything they can to tax them and punish them for their upstart
ways. I see how the people rise up time after time, year after year fighting
for their right to Freedom. I can see the blood, hear the noises of the battles
and feel the resolve as I look into the eyes of the life size bronze
sculptures. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The names inscribed along the bottom of the walls are more
than just names, just Patriots, they are our fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
great grandparents, our people, our family. Because of them and what they
endured we exist, and this country exists. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I reach the end of my journey, the raised dais and see and
hear the flags waving in the breeze, my eyes fall to the last words inscribed
on the wall. <br />E Pluribus Unum.<span> </span>Out of
many, one.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>In my walk through the Memorial I have traveled through time
and have witnessed the birth of our Nation. But I am not satisfied. Half
filled, or half empty depending on how you look at it.<br /><br />The
Memorial is alive but it is missing its heart, its soul, its humanity,
its HOPE for the future. I can read it, but I cannot feel it. <br /><br /> It is the sculptures. The hope is missing there.<br /><br />The
Woman Patriot is not right. Like the other sculptures she is alone on
the end of a wall. The bronze plaque tells her story, the story of the
struggle of those who stood up for what they believed in. But it lacks
the “WHY”. The HOPE for a better life, for a better future for those to
come. </span></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7xRjNgj4rR2RazOLmHh91g-OJ09GrHTcwiPbgplEjLidzlw1pTvkRC5U8HIP6u1QH73wHhSUAFqGLujrpub08lXRvhS584gS-9a4UKcVOpAvkyGZWXdqQZtvyGgTMR3hLflKRr1L6FJc/s1000/woman8.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="476" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7xRjNgj4rR2RazOLmHh91g-OJ09GrHTcwiPbgplEjLidzlw1pTvkRC5U8HIP6u1QH73wHhSUAFqGLujrpub08lXRvhS584gS-9a4UKcVOpAvkyGZWXdqQZtvyGgTMR3hLflKRr1L6FJc/w190-h400/woman8.jpg" width="190" /></a></span></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Original </span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3xg3LwQ1132bjk0KI28YFORqUBDIdBlt26srIcPDhd4zoKZoAfUIkYd7EhUbGnBZ5N2ceD9eh4B4Mak8q8ObNCtr86TlGspcXWiOTWMOOmR5NpXp_SXONSfEsb6_V2g1Zyr_PB2gE94/s800/woman1+-+Copy.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="316" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3xg3LwQ1132bjk0KI28YFORqUBDIdBlt26srIcPDhd4zoKZoAfUIkYd7EhUbGnBZ5N2ceD9eh4B4Mak8q8ObNCtr86TlGspcXWiOTWMOOmR5NpXp_SXONSfEsb6_V2g1Zyr_PB2gE94/s320/woman1+-+Copy.jpg" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjXcAPo5_KEoCoVT5vhdtgUpaAredsjSuiPT74JSNxpMJV2ocGjlF6MOu81bwjnBzY9thTA25NRnwjWhe5KPBSFYrJdD7_IExAO2sjTgot9Aqz76BTaVjtw67gMmtySDgcCdSePUd83hM/s1000/woman9.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="411" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjXcAPo5_KEoCoVT5vhdtgUpaAredsjSuiPT74JSNxpMJV2ocGjlF6MOu81bwjnBzY9thTA25NRnwjWhe5KPBSFYrJdD7_IExAO2sjTgot9Aqz76BTaVjtw67gMmtySDgcCdSePUd83hM/w164-h400/woman9.jpg" width="164" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>New with Kids</span><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><span></span> </span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>So
today, after four years since I first put pencil to paper in the design
of this ORWM, it will be complete. The family, the child, the future,
the promise of hope. The reason for all of this. <br /></span><span><br /><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxpt_XP7X6Oo6DtUDIHB4hBj8K3suQBviTvL4OIgY3JQTwUgYrHapovytbTJG3ylIi1SB7ZXP0ucPPuVoZLDOCQ1Gd-Yk4Z6fKGZCAsMF7FeJDyKEmJmPXVyUFQW1WzSZOoOHALfmhr8s/s2048/woman5+-+Copy.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1452" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxpt_XP7X6Oo6DtUDIHB4hBj8K3suQBviTvL4OIgY3JQTwUgYrHapovytbTJG3ylIi1SB7ZXP0ucPPuVoZLDOCQ1Gd-Yk4Z6fKGZCAsMF7FeJDyKEmJmPXVyUFQW1WzSZOoOHALfmhr8s/s320/woman5+-+Copy.jpg" /></a>The
problem of course is I need the image to stop people and have them
wonder why she is on the Memorial. To be curious long enough to stop and
read the plaque that talks about her contributions and importance in
the Revolution. The single figure does that. <br /><br />If I add a child,
say a babe in her arms, will people walk past her because she now is the
stereotype woman of the period, dutiful wife staying at home having
kids. No interest there. <br /><br />Wrong message.<br /><br />How about keeping the same stance, but adding a toddler at
her feet? Better, but no. An older child maybe age 5 or 6 in front, half hidden,
standing in the folds of her dress? No, too prominent, the child is what you
see first and I don’t like just two figures in the design. How about two kids
in the background peeking out from behind her, like she is protecting them?
Better. I like the three figures forming a triangle. More powerful, stable, and
just think of all the symbology people will read into it.</span></span><span>
</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span>I like it, it works, especially if the first thing you see is
the single woman figure and it stops you and as you look closer, you can see
there are kids hiding behind her. She retains her stopping power, her
character, her personality but another layer has been added to her. That of
“she wolf”, the protector, the mother you do not want to mess with. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>

if you had her holding a book in her right hand as a symbolic reference to Mercy
Otis Warren? — and a way of showing that the Revolution was also one of ideas.
Remember what John Adams said: “The Revolution was in the minds of the
people, and it was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen years
before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington.” </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span>So, I added a book.

always build the figure first, then I add the clothes. That way they
hang right. Because there is so much of the head and neck area exposed, I
need to make sure that the anatomy is correct.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">First
the skeleton, then the muscles over that then the skin over that. I
remember back in my college days (1968-72) we had to memorize skeletal
anatomy and the muscles just like the Docs, from the Gray's Anatomy
Book. Then we had to draw it all and sculpt it. Four and a half years of
anatomy and figure drawing. </span></p><div class="separator"></div><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As
a "Painter", I learned enough to pass the tests. After I graduated I
did not keep up. Why does a landscape painter need to remember the human
anatomy?

forward to 2002 and now I am sculpting the human figure and casting
them in bronze for art galleries to sell. Wow, talk about a fast
refresher course. I pulled out my old anatomy books, Gray's, Bridgman's,
and a few more I can't recall and drew and sculpted like a fiend. I
also had to remember that the proportions in the books were wrong for
artists. The human figure is about 7and 1/2 heads tall. Artists usually
use the 8 head high proportions, four heads from top of head to the
crotch, two heads to the the knees and two more heads to the floor. I
won't bore you with the rest, suffice to say the names and connections
and actions of the bones and muscles are the same just slightly
different in size.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
work first by adding the basic muscle shapes to the face and neck area,
then I work different from most artists, I detail the left side of the
face and neck only, then when I get what I want I do the right side. I
know, bass ackwards and it makes no sense, but that is how I work. The
wisdom of age.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br /></p>ORWMemorialhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06718840866151641387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941100520125717950.post-88777393392546235152021-03-12T13:59:00.001-08:002021-03-12T13:59:35.588-08:00And Now the Personality ...<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5k9KAGa3JSWl7xfVt_bEMI1PCivH44CFaHxYWSO9URmWC275ZmuYp62EukxOYAHL9kdvmAfqNbu3vy-tZZ7BZbJhoCKKX9l47gQohRX48soSEqdp6TIPP68sGWG6YhWWtBii9KuipAnJt/s2878/IMG_20210312_133608579_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2878" data-original-width="1093" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5k9KAGa3JSWl7xfVt_bEMI1PCivH44CFaHxYWSO9URmWC275ZmuYp62EukxOYAHL9kdvmAfqNbu3vy-tZZ7BZbJhoCKKX9l47gQohRX48soSEqdp6TIPP68sGWG6YhWWtBii9KuipAnJt/w245-h640/IMG_20210312_133608579_HDR.jpg" width="245" /></a></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRer9G9Rf6JnUvp8rJVc0ZQ7SZjCJFomeq3NVG7WzGX8VKiWQLJytinbc9WKI9jqmch_DTpaVJiNWwAwU6BJ-c2BngXqNRyIZWio5FHZ0tW7VYLX0ew3PON7UMsTMCDwtAixMhVBbbqEr/s2048/IMG_20210312_133527598_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRer9G9Rf6JnUvp8rJVc0ZQ7SZjCJFomeq3NVG7WzGX8VKiWQLJytinbc9WKI9jqmch_DTpaVJiNWwAwU6BJ-c2BngXqNRyIZWio5FHZ0tW7VYLX0ew3PON7UMsTMCDwtAixMhVBbbqEr/w300-h400/IMG_20210312_133527598_HDR.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><br />Working on the head, and the personality and character. </span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">First

learned about adding the heart to each sculpture from a Native American
artist. She started with the heart and felt that each piece captured
the soul of her ancestors inside and that made a contact with her people
and their spirits. It made an impression with me and I also have always
started with the heart and for me the soul of each piece. Then I work
on the face which will set her character and attitude. <br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I paint the foam so that the clay sticks better.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfbRYFngGbxOg1788YCVLBLBM4xsz-CK3GDMhMx8Ve2DnODboqck_I-pLlGgraPuLxCTyvSKS9y63nd5bdVgh8v9l99x09hfkPcnBAuxNj7i4OJhx4ZX6KJEUcm5tZUiYCX7lpB7KcgMS/s2048/PSX_20210309_133357.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfbRYFngGbxOg1788YCVLBLBM4xsz-CK3GDMhMx8Ve2DnODboqck_I-pLlGgraPuLxCTyvSKS9y63nd5bdVgh8v9l99x09hfkPcnBAuxNj7i4OJhx4ZX6KJEUcm5tZUiYCX7lpB7KcgMS/s320/PSX_20210309_133357.jpg" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZv2HLqnSr4nUOWZ182mwFW9_anc9AZWS0x-JXhmWQ_7JcBFMhlMNLbwT1mh-BR2vcueLQYsSBuv4MPIguwyX8bDnrxfluTmAz6VEnFeEp48Q40GgNxFXOUHer9WJXYH2lyfQeL2msVuvy/s2676/PSX_20210309_133524.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2676" data-original-width="1175" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZv2HLqnSr4nUOWZ182mwFW9_anc9AZWS0x-JXhmWQ_7JcBFMhlMNLbwT1mh-BR2vcueLQYsSBuv4MPIguwyX8bDnrxfluTmAz6VEnFeEp48Q40GgNxFXOUHer9WJXYH2lyfQeL2msVuvy/s320/PSX_20210309_133524.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> <br /></span><p></p>ORWMemorialhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06718840866151641387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941100520125717950.post-57916539929762163452021-03-07T14:25:00.000-08:002021-03-07T14:25:10.675-08:00Today I begin the Patriot Woman Life Size Sculpture<div class="separator"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmH3f5is9ODAvBWTgcYZL4v7N6Q5ny4JnhsWHG5tWt-HPteBr9x9S3IWO88EKrHsL0TTOpE9NORO933PMaxNhw6r313AAKJOlGAkjognrzv0kWhNYHttUhjI8rHPOkpgNSGcO-7_iJNoCX/s2692/womanfinal3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2692" data-original-width="1168" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmH3f5is9ODAvBWTgcYZL4v7N6Q5ny4JnhsWHG5tWt-HPteBr9x9S3IWO88EKrHsL0TTOpE9NORO933PMaxNhw6r313AAKJOlGAkjognrzv0kWhNYHttUhjI8rHPOkpgNSGcO-7_iJNoCX/s320/womanfinal3.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw__OKqE_v6FKnFDQlDdmY_9LbSltmdGfDhczgglLbCE9w4y7dTh6Z8j6t4bNbXnXBa3Soinjv66aBVuiBl7QkJxx_sJRJQBqFPc2GOzxJ2eSWvyxsFqSLUbGis5qk77gusGnpFH5NaucT/s960/66718316_701496110309585_504500061317627904_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw__OKqE_v6FKnFDQlDdmY_9LbSltmdGfDhczgglLbCE9w4y7dTh6Z8j6t4bNbXnXBa3Soinjv66aBVuiBl7QkJxx_sJRJQBqFPc2GOzxJ2eSWvyxsFqSLUbGis5qk77gusGnpFH5NaucT/s320/66718316_701496110309585_504500061317627904_n.jpg" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">March 7, 2021</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I decided last week that it was time to get started on creating the life sized clay sculpture of the Patriot Woman for the ORWM.

I did this once before pouring multiple molds at once some some chemicals that were previously opened, and I lost all three castings. The castings never hardened. After two years, I can still bend and twist them. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The resin I am using is Easy-Flo Clear, equal parts of A & B. I mix a brown dye to part B, stir, add 1lb. of Bronze powder, stir until mixed together, add A to it, stir for 30 secs., I then have max two minutes to paint on the first coat and pour in and slush around the balance of the solution before it sets up. I then mix another batch and fill up the balance of the mold. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Each mold takes 32oz of resin and 2 lbs. of bronze powder. Then I wait for about 30 mins before I can demold and see if the casting is good. I want to make sure every minute detail is in the final.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Once the casting is out of the mold, it cures for 24 hours and then I do the patina to make it look finished.</span><br /></p>ORWMemorialhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06718840866151641387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941100520125717950.post-790511326630227812020-10-09T12:37:00.001-07:002020-10-12T12:47:10.465-07:00Ghosts ... the Test Subjects<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji9cDaX1Y1KW5bNURKH33w6WnxZANuH0j65aFPdpPW_A2fvXMfQ2mnFD3WUXoW3W1F85fZCxKI14PcYwXNwaGDOu2irj2fhCxz7t_j8Uz0SbfoAJ5s8zQAkjrEbxnRezI8k8x-8lBcljgf/s881/PSX_20201008_173123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="879" data-original-width="881" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji9cDaX1Y1KW5bNURKH33w6WnxZANuH0j65aFPdpPW_A2fvXMfQ2mnFD3WUXoW3W1F85fZCxKI14PcYwXNwaGDOu2irj2fhCxz7t_j8Uz0SbfoAJ5s8zQAkjrEbxnRezI8k8x-8lBcljgf/s320/PSX_20201008_173123.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">These are the product of the final tests to check the molds. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I have only poured the areas of the molds where I have a concern and to make sure the details are all there. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Success.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">They do look a bit like ghosts, only partially there and whispy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After they hardened and I checked them over, it is time to clean up the molds and make sure they are super clean with no clay or resin residue in the folds and cracks.

All of which makes it easier to cast the final piece. This part of it took me almost 3 days, but it will save me a lot of time and trouble later.</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI78WjvMDKphOb7eFb3M-DJ-bdGRg0R1VXxEkaja_xh4nCBz5s4rrIDz_qN40qXgpy5w3feTY53B3KVnYc4_X3eM3fOhEH2tjMnUjalGzTZnn7mFAv0GcYJg75ctRDULZcizqblgM0UN0M/s360/wommold1sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="360" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI78WjvMDKphOb7eFb3M-DJ-bdGRg0R1VXxEkaja_xh4nCBz5s4rrIDz_qN40qXgpy5w3feTY53B3KVnYc4_X3eM3fOhEH2tjMnUjalGzTZnn7mFAv0GcYJg75ctRDULZcizqblgM0UN0M/w320-h240/wommold1sm.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: medium;">Next I make a box around the pieces to hold the rubber mold and the plaster shell. I am dealing with liquids, which means of there is a hole in my box, the mold materials will leak. Not a pretty site, very messy and a lot of work to clean up. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The mold material is plastic when it dries, so I can use cardboard as my box as the plastic will not stick.

telling people the “back story” of a
painting or sculpture is as enjoyable as creating the work. It enables
me to share my thought processes, research and maybe even a bit of my
soul.

was the woman left behind as her husband went to war; to raise the family, work
the farm, run the store, teach children, be the politician at social events, work
in the shops, be the lady of the house, make the decisions to keep a roof over
her family’s head and food on the table. She was capable, hardworking and
proud.</span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">How did she participate in the war effort? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">She <span class="hgkelc">participated by boycotting British goods, producing goods for
soldiers, spying on the British, and serving in the armed forces disguised as
men, </span><span class="st">served on the battlefield as nurses, water bearers,
cooks, launderers and saboteurs.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">What did she wear in the 1770’s? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I looked at paintings, read
journals and books on the fashions of the time from 1770-1790. She dressed depending
on her station in life. They all wore the same basic articles of clothing, but
it was about the quality, fashion, and materials. Her gown could have been wool or cotton or silk, and her
undergarments were linen. <span></span><span> </span><span></span><span></span><span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The question was who was the Woman Patriot in
my mind? </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I had the image of a woman who was not the farm girl, but slightly
better dressed and who could be a camp follower and yet pass herself off as a
educated lady when it became necessary. Not a socialite but working class like
a teacher or shop keeper. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>She is wearing a typical fitted long full
dress and an over skirt with a tight waist, 3/4 length sleeves and a shawl over
her shoulders. Her cap is a cloth cap that covers the top of her head and ties
so that the edges scallop. In her left hand she carries a basket of vegetables
or flowers.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Through my research, I found a lady that was the persona I
wanted. </span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mercy Otis Warren. An avid patriot, Warren
began writing political dramas that denounced British policies. Her 1772
satire, “The Adulator", criticized the British colonial governor’s policies
a full four years before Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
Warren also published two additional plays skewering British colonial leaders, <i><span>Defeat
</span></i>(1773) and <i><span>The Group</span></i> (1775.) She supported the
Boston Tea Party, boycotts of British imports and urged other women to
follow suit.</span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span>This then is the back story of the Woman Patriot and why I
have created her as I did.

to its allowing the recruitment of African Americans in 1778. This
decision, designed to help fill dwindling ranks among the Rhode Island
regiments, is regarded as having produced the first African American
military regiment. This is incorrect, however, since its ranks were
never exclusively African American. </span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">The 1st Rhode Island Regiment eventually totaled around 225 men
including 140 who were African Americans, by far the largest percentage
of blacks in an integrated military unit during the American
Revolution. Although the 1st Rhode Island Regiment initially placed its
African American soldiers in</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> separate c</span><span style="font-size: medium;">ompanie</span><span style="font-size: medium;">s within the regiment,
this process eventually gave way once more </span><span style="font-size: medium;">African Americans were no
longer recruited.

contacted the Oneida Indian Nation asking for what they consider the
clothing of the Oneida warrior during the American Revolutionary War.
They were very gracious by responding with not only an illustration of
the warrior, but also a story about their partnership with the Patriots.
This story will be engraved into the red granite Memorial walls (see
below colored text).</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Long
pants, probably deerskin, and around the knees wool garters tied to
hand down the outside of the leg, a loincloth over the top. On top of
that is a </span><span style="font-size: 16px;"></span><span style="font-size: 16px;">patterned long sleeved cloth shirt tied at the waist with a
wide woolen sash. Around the arms are silver armbands and they have a
lot of silver bracelets.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Around
his neck is a silver gorget and he has earrings that are two round
discs tied together. His face is not painted. The top of his head has a
painted skull cap, they would have worn red paint during an attack and
black during defensive action. He is bald except for a back circle of
hair where he
adds feathers that stick up. <br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">I have deleted the red and blue blanket over his left shoulder

</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Oneida
Indian Nation’s legacy of supporting the United States military dates back to
the Revolutionary War, when Oneidas fought alongside the colonists in the
battle against the British. Having fought valiantly in several key battles of
the American War for Independence including the battles of Oriskany, and
Saratoga, the Oneida Indian Nation, the only member of the Six Nation
Haudenosaunee Confederacy to side with the Americans, became known as the
United State’s first allies.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Since the
American Revolution, Oneidas have fought in every American military conflict,
memorializing their longstanding support, friendship and reverence for the
United States and the values it holds.</span></span></p>

on the Woman today, outside temp is 100 degrees but inside my studio
with AC and fans on to keep the clay cool, I am wearing a sweater and
gloves to keep warm. Crazy right?</span></div></div><p>
<span style="font-size: medium;">This woman is wearing a typical fitted two part long full dress ( looks like a short dress over the dress) with a tight waist, 3/4 length sleeves and a shawl over her shoulders. Her cap is a cloth cap that covers the top of her head and ties so that the edges scallop. In her left hand she carries a basket of vegetables (hard to see from this angle).<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I have completed the basic model and I will let her sit for a while and
live with it. Make a change here and there over time until she is what
she wants to be.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Then ready to cast into maquette sculptures to add to the first three Soldiers.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Time to move on to the next sculpture,I think I will work on the Oneida Warrior next.

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">After a lot of research and many drawings, I have decided on the poses of the three new sculptures...more or less.<br />
<br />
In the first photo on the left I have drawn the outline of the new figures on the base boards. From here I will start to build the figures in clay.<br />
<br />
In the second photo, I have started on the "Patriot Woman" figure. Up next to one of the Soldiers, I have tried to keep her smaller in proportion. She will stand about 5'3" in the full size version.<br />
<br />
If you look at the drawing on the back board above, you should notice that as I was working on her in clay she developed an "attitude". Look familiar? That is the confidence and strength look coming through. A no-nonsense "I can get it done" attitude. <br />
<br />
Go with it. She will tell me how she wants to be seen.<br />
<br />
Even though the figure will be covered with a huge full dress and apron, the figure underneath has to be done correctly and fully so that she wears the clothes convincingly. And yes, underneath all of that clay is her heart.<br />
<br />

With the tenor of America today, it has made me think about other groups that helped in the Revolution and have taken a back seat in the history of the War.</span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />I have completed the maquettes of the three soldiers depicted on the Memorial, the Continental, the Militia and the Minuteman, and I am working on the first of the three full sized sculptures. Over the last several years my DAR friends have asked if I would add a woman sculpture to the Memorial, and I have agreed but it was not part of the original cost of the Memorial so I suggested they could raise some funds for the sculpture and I would donate my time. I even have made drawings but have set it aside. My bad.</span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />The plus to setting it aside is that it has gelled in my mind and I have made many changes to the original sketches. She has grown in stature and importance for her contribution to the War.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />So has the importance of two other groups. The Black soldiers and the Native American Nations, both almost lost in history.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />The Memorial is a living, breathing ever changing interactive educational tool. Used to tell the story of the American Revolution, not just a list of names Honoring those who fought and died for Freedom. It is a Memorial to ALL who helped win the fight for Freedom.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />I have decided that I will sculpt three additional life-sized sculptures of those three lost groups of Patriots.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />The Woman to honor the ladies who were left at home to keep the family, farms, businesses and towns going during the War. Yes, they even had to take up arms for protection.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />The Black freemen and slaves who fought for their freedom as well as the country.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />The Native American nations who fought to keep their lands and help build a new country for all.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />To represent the Black soldier’s contributions, I will make the Memorial figure represent a soldier of the 1<sup>st</sup> Rhode Island Regiment, the first Black military regiment. Many more than these 225 men fought on the Patriot side, about 5,000-9,000, but this regiment will be a great group to honor all Black Patriots.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />To represent the Native American warriors, I have chosen the Oneida Nation. The Oneida Indian Nation became the first ally to America when they joined the colonists in their fight for independence during the American Revolutionary War at Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill and their diplomats attended the June 11, 1776 Continental Congress in Philadelphia.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />I am adding links to a 1<sup>st</sup> RI regiment <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/first-rhode-island-regiment/" href="http://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/first-rhode-island-regiment/"><span style="color: gold;">www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/first-rhode-island-regiment/</span></a> and the Oneida Nation website <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.oneidaindiannation.com" href="http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/"><span style="color: gold;">www.oneidaindiannation.com</span></a> so you can become familiar with who these Patriots were.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Research is the key to accuracy, and I have started that research. This will take some time and many drawings to get the proper figures. When I start a sculpture, my drawings always begin with the faces, that sets the right attitude I am looking for and that attitude sets the pose. The heart is the first thing I sculpt and then build the clay figure around it. Even though it is hidden, it gives the sculpture it’s soul. Attitude and soul make a sculpture “alive”.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Stay tuned to the ORWM blog as I will update it with the results of my research, sketches and final clay sculptures.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<br />
This has been a challenging year for all of us during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Especially if you are a non-profit organization trying to raise money to build
the Oregon Revolutionary War Memorial.<br />
<br />
This year all of the usual events we do to raise money have been cancelled.<br />
<br />
They included the Beaverton Memorial Day Musket Volley Salute, Beaverton, OR: Lake Oswego Fourth of July Parade: July
10-16 National SAR Congress in Richmond, VA: Aug 15 Multnomah Village Parade
Portland, OR. Plus we could not get out to organizations and schools to promote
the Memorial. The balance of the year is up in the air for all of us, we can
only pray it will be a better second half of the year.<br />
<br />
Having said that, we do have good news to share.<br />
<br />
In the last year we met our goal of selling all 13 of the State Benches. Our
wreath sales for 2019 were 64 wreaths sold and we had good overall cash
donations. In total our donations for 2019 amounted to over $28,000.<br />
<br />
So far in 2020 we are doing better than we thought we would considering we
cannot get out. We have sold 42 wreaths, and brought in over $3300 in
donations. Most from the DONATE page of our website. Please continue to go to our website for more information and to make your donations. <a href="http://www.orwm.org/">www.ORWM.org</a><br />
<br />
All in all a positive start of the year.<br />
<br />
We want to thank all of you who have contributed to the Oregon Revolutionary War Memorial and we look forward to raising more funds and awareness to the Memorial this year.<br />
