I'm just itching to get back to my folk art studio. It's a busy time of the year - tonight I was watering my garden, planting a pear tree, seeing a cat bird making its mews ten feet away, picnicking for dinner out by Cayuga Lake. It all takes me out of my studio but then on the other hand I love my garden as well.
As far as the artwork goes, I'm in the middle of a number of pieces all in different stages of being done, the farm piece that I talked about in earlier blogs, and several little pieces of sheep. Here's a sheep carving that I just sold through a show at the Duff Lindsay Gallery.
This one was an experiment. The part of it that's behind the sheep is shellacked natural wood. The rest of the piece is painted with acrylic paints. I used butternut for this one, different in that I usually use white pine. I thought, if I was going to leave the finish natural, that butternut was a prettier wood than white pine.
Excellent Blog every one can get lots of information for any topics from this blog nice work keep it up.
