The
photo above shows me at work on the model for the life size Golden Eagle bronze
which was to be attached on the arm of the clay figure in the far right background. The
completed bronze is entitled "Eagle Keeper." The Jim Branscum Art Studio
was located for five years at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts complex in Scottsdale,
Arizona. The foreground shows my first two bronzes, a 1/2 scale bust of myself
entitled "The Dream Lives on Forever," and a 1/3 scale bronze of young
Navajo girl and her goat entitled "Reflections" which was modeled after a
drawing of the same name; both bronzes are sold out and available only on the secondary
market.
Approximately
one year after beginning the "Aging in America- Our Heritage of Wisdom" drawing
project, I closed the studio due to the extensive travel required for the Aging in America
(AIA) drawing project and because my efforts on the AIA project prevented further
commissions for three years or more. As I write this description, the three
years has become six years and counting. However, like General McArthur once said, "I
shall return." At the completion of the AIA project, my plans are to
reopen my studio and gallery in Scottsdale.
