Bas-relief sculpting

-

Here is a picture of an experiement using paper clay and modeling paste to do a bas relief type sculpt onto a wood panel. I really liked this technique but, it is labor intensive. I used Golden brand acrylics and a little pearlex powder to create the color. You can't really see the pearlex that well here. Oh, and I used some of the duocolor acrylic paints from Daniel Smith. Love those colors a lot. This is called Sun On Blue.

My Brick for Breast Cancer Entry

I wanted to make sure I posted this weekend. So, here is my finished entry into this years "Bricks for Breast Cancer" charity called "Bricks Along the Journey". The premise as mentioned in an earlier post is to alter a brick and make it into an art piece. There must be a pink ribbon on it somewhere. So, above is my entry for this year. It is titled, "Taming the Monster" and the idea is that cancer is the big MONSTER, and the woman atop his head is taming him or in my eyes surviving. I have done this charity four times now and really enjoy it. I hope it goes for a bunch of money as it all goes to the cause. I am still trying to finish a few more projects so I can move on to other things. Will post those when I finish them up. Have a good one all.

You aren't seeing things.  I have posted this piece before.  But, this time is different.  I wanted to celebrate two things in my little life.  First is hitting 140 followers here on this blog.  I am so honored by the loyal friends who come and visit me and my art goings on.  Thank you for that support and encouragement.  Secondly, a good friend and artist I know really inspired me with her own unique spiritual perspectives on giving.  So, MarZel this is to honor your wonderful contribution to my world as well. The above piece is only about 6x8 inches in size.  But, it's spirit is mighty.  At least to me it is.  The intention while creating it was to honor the trees that are constantly sacrificed sometimes without thought or honor for humankind.  In many cases without a thought, just discarded because they are in our way.  The trees are our guardians, give us food, shelter, many things we use i...

Ode to a Friend

In loving memory, my Shadow 1994-2009 As I sat beside you on your final day of life. I watch as your spirit vanished like the sun at dusk. In that moment I am reminded of the love you gave, of a life made richer by your being in it. Your eyes seemed to say it is OK. I am at peace now. Those kind green eyes speak of comforting me, even as your last breath escapes your silent lips. Oh, dear friend you teach me humility, unconditional acceptance of what is and must be. I can feel your gratitude fill me. And I too will find comfort and peace. I say a sad and heartfelt goodbye to a beautiful spirit and friend. My kitty Shadow passed on today. I am grateful for the time we shared on this earth together.
