Models

All too often in the commercial world, we are overwhelmed with monumental images, distracting sound bites, and overall visual clutter. This exhibition causes each of us to pause quietly and look closely at the meticulous skill with which the subjects are rendered, as reflected in the patient attention to detail, artistic expression, and the ideal of perfection.

Models today. Not the human kind -- the small-version-of-a-bigger-thing kind.

Fascinated by models...and I'm not at all sure why. So, I just go along with my fascination. And these are wonderful examples. Love the Verdi set.
