An art related post. No, really!

Last weekend found me installing and unveiling a garden sculpture for Jenny Yamate. This piece has a great history. At the art show we did last Fall at Jenny's gym I had another pumice sculpture that sold to one of her clients. But before it left it was at the gym for some time and Jenny got attached to it.

Well, a bunch of her clients got together and commissioned another stone from me to go where the first one had been.

I had the raw materials already, and needed only the time. Going back to work made things slip, but the piece was done something like two months ago. In an interesting twist, this piece got it's name - Flexibility - before it was even complete. Usually I wait until it's done to name something, but this one clearly had a name right away.

Jenny wanted to have a party for the unveiling, so we did that last weekend. I had a great time, and I hope everyone else did too. Big thanks to everyone who helped make this possible, and to Jenny for being both patient and appreciative!

Art News! Sculpture Repair

So I know I started this blog to cover the local fires, but it really only makes sense in the long term if I also cover art related items in here. To that end, here's the first brief post on a related topic.

Recently I finished up a sculpture repair for someone. It was a big enough job that I took some photos, wrote it up, and added it to my website. Take a look if you're curious.

More art related news should be coming to this blog one of these days.

And remember, I'm always interested in your feedback about these posts. You can leave responses to a blog post directly, or you can email me.

Thanks!
