Box 254, Rough & Ready, CA. 95975 Sept 6, 2013 To whom it may concernThis note is a part of the history of the bronze sculpture entitled "Nude Sketch", by David Crawford. This piece is #3 of nine. I am the original purchaser of the piece. David Crawford sculpts each separate piece himself. In examining the detail of the sculpture, I cannot imagine the creative work involved within each endeavor.It all started in 2009 when I took a road trip up into Oregon from Nevada City, CA. At the behest of my sister, I wanted to check out the Bronze Coast Gallery within the very Unique and Beautiful coastal town of Cannon Beach, Oregon. An Artist's Haven if you will, Irresistible Galleries with Sandy Beaches the color of Toasted Almonds, You Gotta Go There!! I have always been absolutely fascinated by the creative expressions of every nature that artists bring into being using every medium under the Sun. As I walked into the Gallery, I was awestruck by the variety and beauty of the art that was so graciously and elegantly displayed. Casually, I made my way around, stopping to study many of the artifacts on display. I happened upon a piece called "Realization of Freedom", by J. Scott Peck, it totally blew me away. I had never seen anything like this in my entire life. As I studied the piece, I Knew, Without A Doubt, that J. Scott Peck, Knew, Without a Doubt, the Plight of the Soul, as, over many lifetimes, it wends its way through the maze of life that exists within the earth, and elsewhere, until, the Universal Eternal Resonance of Understanding IS Comprehended,...leading,...straight to,..."Realization of Freedom". Long story short, I purchased the piece. That was back when I had a few bucks in my jeans. A side note here if I may, off the wall, but the truth of what happened. Subsequently, I happened to notice a young woman, of exceptional beauty, who was working a menial job. She wasn't beautiful in the classical sense, as within a beauty pageant of some sort, stage show, lights, glamour, all the bells and whistles, correct facial/body structure, etc. She possessed a truly universal kind of beauty and/or attraction. There was no doubt, at least in my mind, that under proper honest professional guidance, the distinct possibility existed that she may well have been able to generate and pursue a career in advertising with niche appearances in a host of unique and varied presentations for public dissemination. Her facial features were such that, with proper professional care and set preparation, she could have represented almost any indigenous or multifaceted culture throughout the world. And so, back up in Oregon, while visiting the Bronze Coast Gallery one day, I happened upon "Nude Sketch", which, facially, was almost an exact likeness to the universal beauty of this young woman. Hmmmm,...this is pretty trippy!!. The whole expression of being in this piece spoke to the Evolutionary Process of the Soul during its resolute progressive march toward perfection, culminating in the "Realization of Freedom" as mentioned above. Helllllooooo!!, I had to have it!!...bought it with no money!! Kim, the owner of the Bronze Coast Gallery was kind enough to put it on layaway until I had paid it off. I know, I know, nobody is supposed to talk about anything anymore unless it's politically correct. I gotta tell ya, I'm totally tired of politics. And so, without any affront intended toward anyone by way of the many lifetimes a Soul goes through during its evolutionary progression toward Understanding and Perfection, One must remember!! The Structure and the Laws of God Do Not Yield To Anything Nor Anyone. They are Universal and Quite Literally, ALIVE. GOD is ETERNAL. He/She, Permeates Everything That Is In Existence, To Its Very Core. Each and Every Soul that Lives Within Us,...Is Eternal. Thus the saying "My Spirit Beareth Witness With Thine Spirit". There Is Nothing Hidden!
