Description

This labor of love sculpture of a nude with a pear balanced on her head. She is also covered in pears intricately painted all over her body. If you know anything of my work, I do a lot of curvy women. There are several reasons for this, I love the artist Fernando Botero, very round glowing figures. Also, my grandmother was overweight but as a child I just thought she was beautiful. I suppose it is a reflection of my own body image perception as well. This sculpture is about confidence and all the things a woman must balance in life and how every once in a while it is truly amazing that she can handle it all! She would be great on a shelf or a mantle. Earthenware to cone 04. Measures 12" x 5 1/2".
