Apollo and Daphne WIP shots

Usually I am not to fond of uploading work in progress shots but my friend Stan Mullins suggested that I show the public what I am up to. I figured I owe it to the Blog viewers especially since I mentioned doing some plant studies for this particular sculpture in my last video. This is Apollo and Daphne, the legend is that Cupid shot Apollo to love Daphne and shot Daphne to despise Apollo. A chase ensued until Daphne's mother turned her into a laurel tree to release her from her fate. The obssession continued for Apollo, he visited the tree daily and started the tradition of important figures wearing crowns of laurel leaves.

I have worked many hours on this under the direction of Tim Bruckner.
