As this blog is quickly becoming a notebook type of approach for me which I can post ideas and inspiration from artists I admire I wanted to add a quick mention of a sculptor that was reintroduced to me after what would probably be more than 10 years.  Pietro Bernini was an Italian sculptor who lived during the Renaissance.  I have included a detail of one of his sculpts below which I feel is a remarkable example of being able to capture the feeling of weight, volume, and fleshiness to a piece of marble.
