TAURUS     1979

Picture
Taurus I    36" x 36"
Taurus was my first mosaic commission.  It is quite different from Scorpio, though I again used a circular field set into the square format.  While clearly a decorative design, the Taurus is closer to a “real” bull than Scorpio is to a real scorpion, though clearly fanciful in colors and shapes.  The turned head was necessary to fit into the circle.

Some years later I was commissioned to make another Taurus, and though I followed the general outline of the first one and used the same penny-rounds for background, I altered the tile patterns and colors.
