So,
here's the finished model from the last post. I'm totally into the
stippling for texture on these last ones.
I'm
working on the last 6” x 6” model now. Each one of these is so
different I need to come up with a strategy every time it seems.
This one is from a picture I saved off the internet and I have no
idea what kind of flower it is. Here's the pic. Anyone know what
this is?
Here's
my progress so far.
I
try to get a few chores done in the morning or very early afternoon
because once I start working on the models, I'm there till 7 PM or
so, getting up now and then to rest my eyes and collect pecans.
one
cubic foot of pecans so far this year
Tomorrow
is the annual Wine and Art Fair on Monterrey Square. Attendees will
be able to sample and buy wine and craft beer and view art in
different locations and of course there will be food vendors and a
band. It will be a very long day for me as I have to open the
antique store at 10 AM and the fair starts at 4 PM and runs til 10
PM. I'll have help as the other two employees will be there as well
as some of the vendors so I needn't stay the whole 12 hours.
Since
I agreed to set up a display of our art again this year at the store
and I have done everything nothing to prepare for that, that's what
I'm doing today, rummaging around in the shop trying to come up with
something.
love the latest botanicas! good luck tomorrow! i'm tired just thinking about it. :)
ReplyDeleteI dropped the picture into the google images search & found where you got it from (I love that feature): https://www.flickr.com/photos/dnk/397907328/
ReplyDeleteApparently it's a cyclamen. Interesting!
Good luck tomorrow!
Your model reminds me of an artichoke.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a passion flower to me.
ReplyDeleteLaura used stippling in one of her art lessons and told me it takes too much time, better to do it at home.
ReplyDeleteHow many pecans is that, shelled out? A pound or two? Enough for several pies? I love pecans!
We are battling the blue jay, crows and squirrels for our pecans. I think that means a rough winter ahead.
ReplyDeleteYour work is stunning.
I adore your stippling. It is that extra care to detail that make your work stunning. Love what you do.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the "festival" atmosphere. Oma Linda
As per usual, your latest pieces are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI envy you your pecans. I remember by grandfather in Oklahoma sitting at the kitchen table, shelling pecans for my grandmother and future chocolate chip cookies.
It's been too, too long. These new pieces are gorgeous. I thought it looked like a passion flower, too, but what it is surely isn't any more wonderful than what it's going to be, once you get done with it.
ReplyDeleteHere I thought I was going to be so clever and The Bug beat me to the process. (I love that feature also!) Very lovely flower for sure and you do it justice with your art.
