Continued process



This is perfect for me to be working on something challenging and big. I've had a lot of stressful
things going on in my life lately and I am trying to gain some serenity. Art has always played a huge part in fulfilling me when I need something to keep my head clear and focused.
Now more so than ever. I am blessed to be an artist for sure. However, using big chainsaws, and churning up hundreds of pounds of concrete can also be very tiring and back breaking. I need some cranes for sure. And a huge warehouse or something to work from. My welder is all hooked up now so I can weld big steel for study sculptures. My smaller welder was just not cutting the cake.
I love cake!! And speaking of cake, my birthday was yesterday and I went to my party that I did not know was going to happen and ate some delicious cake my daughter made me.
LOVED it. Thanks Linda! Okay. back to work. Here I am cutting the legs to this sculpture out using a chainsaw. It was fast and easy too. Then I took a sander grinder and worked the edges smooth for the paint and fiberglass. Im thinking about perhaps making these into fish. What a cool sculpture this is going to be. You will not realize I used plywood unless you saw this blog.
Which not too many people have. But they will because I am going to email everybody I can and tell them about it. I have been playing guitar at an open mic here in town and someone told me I should make a CD! So, perhaps I will, after, of course, I finish this sculpture.
Karen the smartest artist. And getting wiser too in my older ages.
