Carving the Man
My neighbor gave me this huge chunk of mahogany. I cut out the general shape of the figure and now I am trying to refine it. It's interesting to just be removing and not being able to add anything back on...sculpture is like that--just take away all the parts that don't belong and then you will be left with what you imagined. Easier said then done. I think I will paint on this figure once he is finished. Maybe a dark color, a rich patina. He is going to float above the house like a weathervane on a roof. I will make it so he can move in the breeze.

Nice to see you venturing into sculpture. Of course the entire house is a painted sculpture. Have you ever worked in this combination before?
No. But I do like it....I would love to do some mobiles. Thats what I keep thinking about....the forms in my paintings kind of float so it would be great to actually have that happen in a space. I could see doing really large ones...
Another consideration Purple Chanel Mini Top Handle Flap Bag that must be taken into account is the proper usage of faces when Gucci Bamboo Beads Medium Top Handle Bag setting a longs blocks of type. Choosing the proper size and leading and line length are also very important and Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim Neo Cabby GM vary depending on the face. One could very easily choose a pleasant looking typeface but use it in a very unpleasing way.
