I started this canvas well over a year ago after a class with Linda Misa on Doll Street. The idea for this one was inspired by my oldest daughter, who absolutely adores dinosaurs, and an old book on dinosaurs that was retired from the children's collection of library where I work.
I got stuck after I added the dinosaur image and so it has been sitting on the couch in my studio silently roaring at me ever since. Last week I had a dream that gave me the idea to render the dinosaur in bas relief in paper clay, so last night I sat down and sculpted and carved him in 3-D.
It was easier than I thought it would be. Now I just have to wait for the clay to completely dry, then I can seal it and get to the fun part - painting!!

hmmmm.. interesting, looks awesome so far!
It is wonderful. That is really a great idea to do it with paperclay.
that looks so cool! the texture of the dinosaur is really well done :D
it's looking magnificent already! i can't wait to see him all painted up.
That rocks! Can't wait to see how he looks when he's painted. I never finished my canvas from that class either - my little girl has no face.
That is SO-o-o-u cool! Wow! Love it!
This is soo cool Judi! I LOVE Dino's!! Can't wait to see it finished. BTW, thank you and you MOST certainly are too!!

Love it Judi! I found I really enjoyed doing reliefs when I did the little lady of the sea on the tile. I can't wait to see this one come alive.
I wish to goodness I had dreams like that Judi. This is going to be terrific, but I've come to expect that from your work.
