salvation

Thie is probably the most ambitious piece in the series. The little figures in the mouth (about 1" tall) were sculpted with sculpy and meant to depict his own babtism. For the water I used a blue tinted clear resin. Again I drilled several holes in the roof of the mouth to allow the light from a battery powered light to shine down on the scene to replicate dappled sunlight. The flames and dragon we painted with acrylics. The whole image is a metaphor for his religious calling and his temptation to the wild side. The Babtism staged in his mouth sort of shows how his salvation came from his song. Whew!
