May ReginArt show and sale.

Spring is here ( I have been wrong before) I believe.  Have spent a good deal of time trying to get the art show set up and the pieces to make it run smoothly.  It is coming together but not much art work getting done.   The above are the two wood pieces I completed from the fir beam that was found along the side of our house.  The grain worked really well on the owl but poorly on the female figure.  Still learning new things.  I used Danish oil finish on both pieces. 

I have just posted the show invitation on Dawn Trasks facebook page,  have a peek for an idea of what we produce in the ReginArt world.

Spring News

Well, spring is supposedly here though as I write there are white flakes coming down.  makes outside work a little chilly but I have been out there doing just that.  Last post I mentioned that I was carving wood, fir to be precise.  I did get the two pieces done and am now looking at a chunk of soapstone.

Nouveau Gallery in Regina have picked some of my work for a spring show of Regina area artists and a small retrospective of Ted Godwin's work 1961 to 1988 ( one member of the Regina Five).  The show is called AWAKENINGS. Nice to have gallery representation in town. 

Also a somewhat frantic time for our ReginArt group and the spring show on May 15-17.  Trying to find sponsors , get info organized for printing invites, booklet, etc..  I think we have a phenomenal group of artists and we really want to make this a successful show for all of us.

The pictures are of  the two almost complete wood carvings.
