SOLD!


In an earlier post, I mentioned that CANVAS gallery was showing some of my sculptures. Well, the other day they sold my latest Buddha Head. It's always great to get on the board with a new gallery. Jac and Arlingtom are amazing people and that makes it even better. Next week I'll start on some new faces . I'm also hoping to get back up to Ventura to finish (ha-ha) my new abstract in marble.

It's not all good news. I was carving the other day and I think I broke my angle grinder that I've had for 15 years. It's very scary when a powerful tool goes bad. Especially when you're using a sharp diamond blade. Definitely, not my favorite.

BREAKING THROUGH!

Meant to post this when it happened last week but I was too excited and got distracted. After 30 hours of chiseling, grinding and cutting, I finally broke through, literally, on my latest sculpture, an abstract in Portuguese Rose marble. It's a beautiful stone, but so much harder than the alabaster I've been carving the past few years. Now all I have to do is shape it and make it flow.

I'll get on it tomorrow with my new tools that I just bought at IN STOCK in North Hollywood. Thanks to fellow sculptor Joanne Duby who turned me on to Paul, Sean and their dad. They were so friendly, knowledgeable and honest, with great prices. It was a joy to deal with them. Thanks to them I'm raring to go and finish this baby up.
