Hunting for lizards in heads

Alice ( A Chihuahua that belongs to one of my kids) 

She is  looking  for lizards in one of my latest carvings.

The problem is she does not know which head to look in. It quickly becomes a game of who is faster. A little like watching a kid play "Whack a mole".

Garden patch heads

My three latest creation are now drying out from their week long soak in water. The one on the left I created for Corie Candee, if she decides to keep it. They are not signed or numbered and I no longer name them. I have always felt that naming them was a little precocious. After all, would you want someone else to name your kid? I think of them as stone Cabbage Patch kids rising up out of the garden. The one on the right is still being worked on as I intend to add a glass jewel to the four head.

My back yard. Some would say it is just desert, but I think it is magic.

Life gives you want you need but not always the way that you want. Like swimming a raging river, there is no point to fighting it. Move with it and see where it leads you before you call it good or bad.

Cement carved heads

The following are some of the latest Heads that I have created.

Each are about 14" tall and weigh approximately 25 to 30 pounds each.

Stone guardian spirits

Stone guardian spirits

This is my latest fetish. His name is George and I enjoyed creating him so much I have decided to creat an entire city, not just the family. Yes, freinds, relatives, and total strangers. George is presently visting the Rising Sun Gallery & Art Studio in Fallon, Nevada. Actualy he is looking for a new home to live in.

This is Boo,  (or wind) he is related to George but George  won't admit it.

This one, I haven't decided yet if he is related or just looks related, his name is Gee. Both Boo and Gee will be sitting in the hot tub for about a week to cure. After that I am not sure were they will be living. ( note: all are signed art work and no two are the same as they all hand carved statues)

My latest art work. Yard art butterfly and flower. Hand carved cement.

Dandelion art

Dandelion art

In some cases it's a matter of taking the every day things and turning them into something else. Take a dandelion, photograph it and then subjected it to different special effects. The end result is a piece of artwork that no one has seen before. A world that everyone sees every day but is blind to it because the mind does not think of it as important.
