SCULPTING DAVID
Fate conspires to arrange a canvass of dramatic conflict for offspring of warring NYC art world royalty. The muses laugh as Romance takes center stage.
David Michaels, heir to an artistic legacy – his parents, Adrian Michaels, premier sculptor, and Elena Stefanova, patrician Russian impressionist – breaks away to start a Gallery in the shark infested waters of NYC’s art world. David and his General Manager/mistress, Janet, approach Jacqueline Maurer, the talented daughter of Adrian's archrival, to showcase the Gallery’s opening salvo. Jackie will not disrespect her Papa, the redoubtable Jacques Maurer, and declines.
David pursues Jacqueline using a fake identity and masquerading as a fellow student. Intent on pressing his case, he loses himself in his art and the incomparable talent of his prey. David volunteers to model in her oils class, leaving nothing to chance and nothing to the imagination.
Jacqueline has complications of her own – a relationship with her swimming coach – and a plea from Jacques to come home to Paris to work in his studio. Torn between opposing factions and unsure of her heart, Jacgueline embraces her dark yearnings to produce the image that will ultimately captivate David.
Elena Stefanova must enter stage left to manipulate the warring muses, star crossed lovers and irascible enemies. Romance smiles wisely as David’s creation, The Raging Bull, pulls free of its confines.

TIGRIS EDEN'S GARDEN OF BOOKS REVIEWS SCULPTING DAVID AND GIVES IT 5 STILETTOS!
This was a different read for me. It was emotional powerful and colorful all at
the same time. This was not something that would have regularly attracted my
attention, but I am so glad I read this. I consider myself somewhat of an
artist, whether its in my writing, or painting, hell even doodling... (What?
Its an art form if I say so :D) Jacqueline and David are the main
characters of
the story and both are artists, David is opening his studio
and wants Jackie's
works for part of the exhibit. Instead of her saying
yes, she says no due to
family rivalry. (I almost pegged this as a
Romeo/Juliet story) This causes
David to go undercover and pretend he's a
student at her college. He poses nude
in one of her classes for chair time
and the two embark on a journey of
discovery. Michael and Jackie were both
blank canvas's until their lives became
intertwined. Both giving only
their outside persona visual to what really was
hidden deep beneath their
psyche. Both artist's work reflected what the other
could not convey in
their everyday lives. This raw passion the two craved was
fully awaken when
the two came together.
Rawlyns really made the characters bloom for me. I could see, feel, and smell the
substance.
She wrote from a perspective that if you weren't familiar with
artist
palette you would be extremely inclined to seek out and discover all the
different mediums one could use as an artist. Michael and Jackie brought out
the best in one another no matter that it was something dark and earthy to
them, raw and passionate they molded it into a piece of art that could not
only
sustain their desires but maintain their relationships as artist and
as a
couple.
