Sculpture & Painting

I'm working on my next sculpture.  We're to make a plinth and think about what a plinth means.  I'm making a topiary plinth that will change with the seasons.  It is a work in progress.  In painting class we painted one feature from an Old Master painting.  I copied one eye from a painting done by Peter Paul Rubens around 1635-1640.  Compare to last term (last picture below) -- I see much improvement!
