Dianna Kitty by Beau Smith, January 2024
copper and bronze, handmade, welded and brazed sculpture, given a patina with subtle touches of oil paint, waxed
This is the second Cat sculpture I made in the series of Cats I began in October or November of 2023. This departure from Frog sculptures has been exciting and has spawned a lot of creativity. This particular sculpture makes me think of a very dear cat of mine, now passed, a Siamese that my son, when he was a young boy, named Dianna, after the action adventure superhero Wonder Woman, and after Dianna, the huntress goddess of the Greek myths, of which he was familiar. Dianna had tons of personality. So many good things I could say about her. That is the way with a cat you love. Were I to write anything more about her, I would have to start a book, or at least a short story.
I love how things just happen in art, which, of course, they do - not that I always love that aspect because the things that happen are not always fortuitous, nor should one rely on serendipity. Although, seeing as my subject matter is fantasy, serendipity is definitely part of that.
This particular sculpture is not for sale. But, if you want, I can make one like it, according to the size you want, as well. Just email me and we can work out the details. I have listed a price on this sculpture, but that is for making one like it, not this sculpture.
Shipping is included in the price.
