A digital painting I did from reference I took of a sculpture at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. It was a beautiful statue that I unfortunately do not remember the name or title because I didn't write it down.I have a theory that sculpture is a more forgiving medium to work in. I might be wrong, but it seems that it is harder to see mistakes in 3 dimensions. Don't get me wrong there are some unbelievable artists and artwork done in sculpture, this is one example, another is everything done by Bernini. But I really love sculpture and hope to get the time to do more of it someday.

Wow - I love the complimentary cool light on the back of the head / neck - nice touch!
Bravo! Dave.
Holy Smokes is right, this kicks serious butt man . . . beautiful work, awesome use of soft edges and subtle light, reflective light, the whole works . . . DANG!
Great sense of luminosity. It feels like a sculpture too, which just shows how well-observed the light is.
Dave,
This piece is damn near perfection.
The luminosity, the texture, the subtle color change from the bounce lighting,...very nice.
Love the site, I come here often for a little inspiration.

just stopping by. great art and wonderful pencil drawings!
Awesome work! That's simply amazing. I love skeleton post.Congratulations for your work
WOW!! That's all I got.
It amazes me how close I have to look at your stuff to make sure it's not just a photo!
You handled the lighting beautifully.
Amazing piece, Dave! Terrific values & lighting.
that is very beautiful
I happened on to your blog from a comment you left on Sergio Martinez's blog. I checked out your website and all I can say is wow! This piece captured my interest most of all. I can't believe it's digital. She is so full of soul, I expect her to turn and say hello. All your work has life, but this one, of a statue nonetheless, is almost tangible. I'll be visiting here often. Keep up the great work.
This one keeps blowing me away dave. so many bounces of light. incredible.
