Gardening by the Lake, Curvey Path

Gardening by the Lake, Curvey Path was carved summer 2017 and painted winter 2018.

I am a gardener and love getting my hands in the dirt.

 The video below shows how I tried to do something different with this piece. I added two side wings when I ran out of space. It was one of those lucky mistakes that help me keep growing. After I completed carving the main part of the art, I realized I wanted to add a walkway but I had run out of room. So that's why I added the wings, for additional carving surface. The curvey path adds more depth and interest. Without it where would the wheelbarrow go?

 (Note: after playing the video andif you want to see it again, click on the counterclockwise rewind symbol on the bottom left side of the video and it will reset.)

Below, a picture of the back of the piece showing the added on (right and left boards) "side wings". You can see from this picture that I have once again used rough cut white pine. Affixed in lower left is the small sketch out of which this piece was born.

Guy and Crow Energy

Over the years I have carved many images that use a wind swirl to create movement. In recent months I find these swirls just keep coming out when I put my pen to paper.

In Crow and Guy Energy, the wind swirl shows energy. I wonder, is the guy being pushed away or pulled by the wind?

 

I used a button and pieces of abalone in making this piece. Crows love shiny things.

 

Another close up picture, this one featuring the guy.

 

Crow and Guy Energy, under all the paint there is a wood carving.

 

Woman, Yes, Pushed by the Wind

I had fun making this piece. The woman is off balance, surprised,

thrown by a quick gust of wind. But the word "YES" says she can do it.

 

Carving Stage: a close up of her face, this is new for me,

to make such expressions of surprise

 

Carving Stage: this view is from a little further out, You can see how I intentionally tore the

background wood by carving cross grain with a tool angle that increased shredding.

I like to do this textural type of effect because it makes things more interesting, plus

after the carving is painted you can see I'm working with wood.

 

Painting Stage: Early in the painting

 

Later Painting stage: half way through the painting, doing lots of

layers to get the look that tells me the work is done.

This painted woodcarving is likely done. As I continue to look at it over the next weeks and months, there is always the possibility I will add a few tweaks. Your comments and shares of my work are always welcome.

I have many ideas for new work that are inspired by my concern about the natural world being off balance. Who knows, maybe this will even become a new series.

Looking back at the photos in my camera, I realize I started carving this one a full two years ago, then set it aside for long periods of time while making other pieces. Sometimes it works out like that. In the end, I am so pleased with how this one turned out.

Musical Livingroom

Musical Livingroom is a piece that I carved several years ago but I didn't paint it until this past winter. I really like the colors in this one and how it has a glow. As usual it's much better seen "in person" than as a photo. This picture is true to my livingroom and yes it's a self portrait of me playing the accordian/concertina.

Sailing Race on Cayuga Lake, DONE!

I am so happy with how Sailing Race on Cayuga Lake turned out. When I look at it I feel a sense of action and movement at the same time as I feel peace and calm. It's an interesting combination. Watching people as they react to it at the Ithaca Farmers' Market gives me confidence that others will like the piece as much as I do!

 

Below, Sailing Race on Cayuga Lake, DONE!

 

Below, pictures of the work in various painting stages. Even though the finished work does not have much yellow or coral in it, these colors, layered over and over early on, peak through and serve to warm up the finished piece.

I've added the whites. Experimenting with yellow in the frame area...

Sailing Race on Cayuga Lake, Early Carving Stage

Sailing Race on Cayuga was inspired by watching  Cornell sailing team races and practice sessions that take place at the south end of Cayuga Lake. I've never been crew in a sailing race, but in another lifetime that is certainly something I might like to have tried.

Guardian Angel with Birds and Loved Ones

This carved piece is called Guardian Angel with Birds and Loved Ones. It's been a while since I've done a piece in my Guardian Angel Icon series. Actually, this piece was carved about 4 years ago at the Ithaca Farmers' Market but I didn't paint it until this past winter (2016). My angels fit in with a protective theme I've already been exploring in my guard dog series. This protective or guard theme  (using the metaphors of dogs and angels) began when my children left home but continues to take on new meanings for me.

Woman Lies Down with Dogs, DONE!

This winter I decided to take some time to make some larger, more major pieces. Woman Lies Down with Dogs # 39  is one of the pieces that resulted. She was carved in the summer months of 2015, painted in the winter of 2016. This picture is the 39th in my guard dog series, each piece uniquely addressing the  protective and devoted nature of dogs.

Here she is - carved in wood, protected by guard dogs, warmed by a fire, in the midst of a delicious sleep. Rarely am I so thoroughly satisfied with how one of my pictures turns out, but in this case I can only say "I can't do better than this!"

Woman Lies Down with Dogs, Painting Stages

Bear with me as I show all the various paint stage incarnations of Woman Lies Down with Dogs, #39.

From calm beginnings...

 

To the addition of a dark anchoring base...

 

Reds and more reds, but it needs more action happening at the top...

 

 

Trees and dots, now it has better top and bottom balance...

 

Getting close but it needs some toning down and dialing back...

Stay tuned for next week's posting to see the completed piece.

My Studio says "Bye Bye" to Crows and Waving Guys

Below is a carved and painted piece called Crows and Waving Guys. It sold last spring to someone who wanted to buy it by payment plan. After nine months of slow and steady payments it was paid off and picked up by its new owner last month. Thanks Andrea! I hope Crows and waving Guys is living well at your house!

Changing a Leaf Allows me to Finish the Bird Tree Carving

 

In my last blog posting I showed a problem area in the Bird Tree painted woodcarving, see below. As I said then, the leaf that cuts into the chest of the top right bird just shouldn't be there. It's too big and it distracts me from seeing the full shape of the bird.

 

With a painting on canvas, you can just paint over a problem area. This is not so easy for me in that my work is painted on carved wood. If a shape is to change the only way to change it is to recarve and then repaint. Before I do this step - which cannot be undone once the wood has been carved away - I want to be sure. So first I paint over the carved area, as I have done below, to get a better idea of how the corrected area will look. With the leaf smaller, you can now see the plant stem going up to the shape of the bird's chest. I find this solution pleasing.

 

Below, I have now carved away all unwanted wood to create the desired shape.

 

I proceed to paint over.

 

 Below, the piece is done!

Starting to Paint the Bird Tree Carving

The Bird Tree piece starts out with blue and burnt sienna brown as its basic colors. These colors will carry throughout into the finished art.

 

The birds look disturbing to me without the eyes, which are often a point of focus for me as I look at my work.

 

Below the piece with glass eyes and brass tacks. Much better but more to be done.

 

I often know what still needs to be worked on by the feeling that something just isn't quite right. Zoom in to a close up view of the top right bird. That leaf just shouldn't be there. It's too big and it distracts me from seeing the full shape of the bird.  I'm going to have to take care of that. Stay tuned to the next blog posting where I will show you how I solve the problem.

Smile and Don't Expect so Much #8

"Smile and Don't Expect So Much" is a series that I've been working on over a number of years. This is the eighth picture I've done on the theme, each one a little bit different! I started doing these pictures because one time, when I was complaining to my mother, she said "just smile and don't expect so much". I try to take her good advice, but these pictures are meant to humorously show how I feel internally as I sometimes have to force myself smile.

Croatia Commission: DONE!

Croatia Commission - Memories of a Walking Vacation Trip

Last year I was approached by longtime patrons to make a commissioned painted woodcarving that would memorialize their hiking trip to Croatia.  Obviously the piece had to include the place - the red roofs, the ancient town, and its location by the sea. ... But it also had to include the hikers as they made their way down its well trod paths. I made this piece entirely from photographs (see below), definitely a challenge from which I could grow.

Order a Commission for 2016

It's Time to Think about Ordering a Commission for 2016

My 2015 Farmers' Market season has ended and my art activities are now moved indoors into my humble winter studio. December through March you will find me warmly dressed working to complete my winter commissions and preparing new work for the upcoming Ithaca Farmers' Market Season.

If you would like to discuss a special order commissioned piece of carved and painted work, to be completed in the late Spring of 2016, now is the time for you to speak up.

Below is a lovely piece that was special ordered in summer 2013 and which was completed by the end of winter 2014, It features a well loved multigenerational family property and dock on the Rappahannock River, Virginia. The Rapahannock empties into the Chesapeak bay. The dock, degraded by various floods, was lovingly built over many seasons by the grandfather of the woman who commissioned the piece. As such the dock and its ruins was a sentimental object which called out to be the centerpiece of the commissioned work.

Sheep Icon 23, Improvements to the Original piece

Leave a piece of my artwork with me long enough and sometimes I am compelled to make improvements to the original piece!

Sheep Icon 23 was an experiment for me in that I left a natural pine background in part of the piece. I am wondering whether people like this and am always appreciative for your comments, either here at this blog or at Facebook.

 

I finished the carved painting a few months ago but I kept looking at it, bothered. The natural wood background of the piece seemed a little too plain. I wondered if it still needed something else. Once I added a few salvaged upholstery tacks - voila! it felt complete.

 

 

Above, the final (for now) version of Sheep Icon #23. $450.00. 10.75" x 13" x 2"

Ear to the Wind #3, Changes to the Original Piece.

In the past year a "wind" series has begun to flow out of me. Ear to the Wind #3 seen below captures the feeling of wind, joyous and overpowering, the raw force of Nature. It's a part of my people in nature series of painted and carved pictures.

 

For two months after its completion I continued to look at the piece. Something seemed unfinished. Then I added "sparklies", my nickname for brass tacks, and the piece became complete.

Cows and Snowy Day Barn, DONE!

I painted Cows and Snowy Day Barn several months back. As I painted, I took several pictures of it in process.

Above, the painted woodcarving is DONE!. It wasn't until this week that I took the final photo. I wanted to sit with the piece for a while before I considered it finnished. I worked on it until I felt my eye zoom into the center of the picture, to the farmer in red. Does the way I painted it work this way for you?

By the way, the sister piece to Cows and Snowy Day Barn, just sold this week. I call them sister pieces because the barns that inspired them are both located on Route 23 in the Catskill region.

Four Large Crows in a Circle, Carved

Last time I wrote I showed a crows sketch, which now has been made into the below carving. I'm feeling even more enthusiastic, this is going to be a good one.

Right now, it being summer, I am so involved in house and other outdoor projects that likely I will not get to painting this one for a while. It will just go on the stack of carved but unpainted work in my studio. If you ever see an unfinished piece here that you want to buy, just speak up and I will put it on the fast track for completion.

New York State Barn - Location Unknown.

This piece was carved several years ago. It sat in my "to be finished" pile until it was painted this winter. The purchasers were a mother/daughter team who intend to share it. Cows look out of the picture frame, footsteps in the snow.

The barn is quite lovely, nice solid lines with two cupolos. I think it is located near Middletown, NY right next to Route 17, but I am not sure. I took the pictures years ago. Please, if anyone recognizes the barn let me know its location. It should be quite easy to spot given the "Christopher Street" signage.

Ithaca Farmers Market Outdoor Season About to Begin

Saturday April 4 will be the first outdoor Saturday market at Steamboat Landing site. Until the time gets closer and I can see the weather (I do not like to carve when it is below 50 degrees), I will not know whether I will start on the 4th or a little bit later. But it is VERY exciting and you can know I am IN MY STUDIO GETTING READY.

Below are a number of sketches for new pieces in various stages of work. Please vote on your favorite!

Then watch throughout the season as each piece takes its final shape.
