Upcoming Studio Art Walk

-



I wanted to post that the Essex Studios here in Cincinnati will be hosting it's first studio art walk next weekend.  So, for all my local friends and fans please stop out and say howdy.  There will be plenty of new art,wine, snacks and other funs stuff to experience.  I will be showing off some new work as well.  It goes from 6-11pm both Friday March 5 and Saturday March 6th.  If you need directions you can map quest it or email me at codyart@fuse.net if you need more info.

I am still working on the rabbit piece.  He has been sculpted and first base coat of paint.  I also made his carrot.  Hope to have him done by the end of the weekend.  Oh, and I treated myself to two new things.  One was the sculpting character figures DVD by Wendy Froud.  Excellent for picking up some new tricks and techniques.  I couldn't afford her latest class so, I opted for this DVD since I did not know her teaching style.  She seems to be a really patient and kind teacher.  I love her work too so there is that artistic admiration thing.  The other was a new set of metal sculpting tools.  I haven't received these yet.  But, after seeing Wendy use them in her video, I thought I had to have them.  I guess that's it for today.  I am trying to psych myself up to take a big certification test for work.  It is offered by National Artists Material Trade Association or NAMTA for art material industry professionals.  Our regional manager wants the Cincinnati affiliates of Plaza Art to become certified.   I did really well in the quizzes but, the real test is timed.  It reminds me too much of those tests you had to take in school.  So we shall see if I get up the courage to take it today.  Have a great day everyone.

Thanks MarZell. I appreciate your support. It's good to hear from you. As for pics, not that good at taking them in the midst of hob nobbing.

OK , without further ado here is my entry for the ADO Art Dolls Only challenge The Elements . Please go visit the ADO blog to see some of the great entries for this challenge. Introducing for the first time anywhere, the Mergoblin . He is the first of his kind to grace my blog and studio. Several of his relatives are planning a visit real soon. He is a polymer clay one of a kind sculpt. He has a recycled head that was made for an earlier project. The eyes are fresh water pearls that have been dyed. His tail is made from a type of willow tree. I know the photography isn't spectacular but, I wanted to get him up on the blog in time. Here is a closer view of his head area. This is the other side view. He is mounted on a wooden base suspended by a wire inserted into a brass tube. I painted the brass tube blue to match the stand. This was a fun challenge that got me to think outside my usual box. Hope you enjoy him.

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...
