''CLOUD DANCER'' new bronze sculpture.

''CLOUD DANCER'' new bronze sculpture H-19'' L-10'' price $1900. This sculpture shows an eagle flying through clouds. I created the clouds in a loose impressionistic abstract s design. The eagle is represented in detailed realism. Combining the two contrasting styles makes the composition more dynamic.

Inspirational talk to 90 inmates

I went to Newcastle WY and gave a slide show and inspirational talk to 90 inmates at the Wyoming Honor Conservation Camp & Boot Camp about my life and career as an artist. a couple of weeks ago. I shared the challenges, struggles and rewards I have faced chasing my dream of becoming a professional artist. There were many inmates who create art in there and they asked me to critique their work. I received a letter from one of them thanking me for taking the time and sharing my story. Thanks for the letter it was appreciated.

 this is a video I created with Justin Pehrson on my bronze sculpture of the Sundance ritual. I set the bronze on fire to give a more dramatic effect. I also wanted to show what a tough durable medium bronze is. After cleaning off the accelerant the sculpture and patina was not damaged. This sculpture is on display at my show at ART 321 in Casper WY. chrisnavarro.com
