ART GONE OLD - THE WORKS OF TIP TOLAND

"Milk for the Butter Thief"
2008

    Believe it or not, what you see above is a sculpture! It's true! If you appreciate the aging of the female form, as I do, then you'll appreciate the art of Tip Toland. She's primarily a sculptor and her subjects tend to lean towards the human body and how it ages. Her work has progressed steadily over the years becoming a lot more realistic with every new piece.
     Here, I've compiled the works that caught MY eye and I'm sure will get your attention too. You can tell there's passion there and that she has a love affair with the human condition and its effects on the female body over time. You can see more of her work here.

"The Whistlers"
2005

"Marilyn"
2005
