just must

here are my finished recycled sculptures. these are made from things that would have gone to the dump. the pieces begged me to save them from doom, and now look at them! silly i know, but it does make me smile when i pull into the driveway and see them.you can see them at the garden art show at the plantsman nursery. art buddy and friend -werner sun will also have his mobiles.

table

this is the finished puzzle table . the table opens where the two birds meet. hard to tell in this photo but the lines are burned into the wood. it gives an etching kind of feel. it is a tad more pastel than i usually paint , but it felt

right. the home it will be in, is a work of art, and houses many works of art, and i was granted free reign to create. it is done in my symbolic map style, which i can not seem to move from. but i wanted to paint a place where love meets again and again.

word

lately i keep playing with this symbolic image. i love it because it says so much, maybe with out a word. no matter what you will see what you want to see. at the same time i am sending out an intention. it will catch who is to receive it. energy.that is what everything is about. winged prayers.

blocks

these are blocks of wood. i kept changing around the structure. dont know if i will keep them this way. it becomes a sculpture. the wires in the head i always find them on the road. the pieces are leftover from a remodel. my art tunnel or my art garage , not sure what i will call it. but it will be good when you walk in. sturdy walls, a new door, a little world. i even found there is a window. so when its done , this will be funny, i will have an opening. excellent idea. oh so about the blocks, i am going to try to make sculptures with all the leftover teardown construction and wood. i do not want to put it in the dump. so i will let you know how it goes.............

pieces

this day last year was the last day of the gallery spirit and kitsch. i didn't remember what day it was. a dear customer ( now friend) emailed me to tell me he had the day on his calendar. it was a beautiful letter he sent. it created a different way in which i would move through july 17th. he said it was like being spiritual, but not having to go to a church. i am just out in the world making art. so are my other spirit and kitsch artists.it all worked out perfectly..... thats me and "cloudbuster" going over the details before i rode off on that horse, have the apron on because i would also be selling hotdogs and popcorn. and yes cloudbuster usually wears a suit but for once he just wore his derby.

resist

so this is called "flower says NO to color".

it's something that just started happening by a few wisps of color, i saw/thought this image. i just couldn't resist making it. i have this NO series of work , anyway. and i wasn't thinking of that at the time... this image just came forth.

this makes my day. the day was already a beauty. but how about a flower that is ready for a change.

desire

a sketch for a commission table top. the line in the middle represents where the table actually opens up. i will either burn or carve the line art into the table. i have a strong desire to carve, since the map show. now i think of all my drawings as maps. this image is for finding home, where they meet, again and again.the oval in the center is a portal. i guess this is another portion of "somewhere."
