Station

The latest addition to the collection.

40" inches square on a gallery canvas.

And now, for something completely different

My painting has gone off in a new direction! It's taken me by surprise as much as anyone who has seen the work I do for the last few years. An interesting new direction as far as I can see.

My world now, a middle distance stare, sometimes very close up, relaxed.

WALKING STAFF STUFF

The winter of 2013-2014 was a busy one. We were hit with an amazing ice storm. Out of this, I got a lot of wood that came down out of my Black Locust tree in the front yard. I turned it into an opportunity to explore a different aspect of carving. walking staffs. Using the shape of each piece, the wood guided me to what it wanted to be.

First out of the gate is the Raven Steals the Sun story.

Second one is of a White Pine topper, as I grew up in a house surrounded by White Pines.

The third is silhouetted black locust leaf brachts on a green background, the colour of the leaves when they are new.

I am enjoying the challenge of carving a harder wood than pine or fir.
