2020 has not been a good year for most people - but it's been particularly hard on anyone involved in the Arts. All of the regular venues have been shut down and my extensive marketing has completely failed. Yet, (from unforeseen directions) I've been lucky with sales and the occasional commission.
( I don't get what I want - but I get what I need...)
I had been approached by a private individual from Johnson City, Tennessee to create a fountain sculpture from the last piece of Tennessee Marble that I had from Friendsville, TN. This is a 350 lb. piece of scrap from a mermaid commission of Paul Fields - back in 1989 when I was his apprentice.
Here are 6 views of the finished piece that measures 26"H x 13"W x 10"D and weighs a little over 100 lbs.
Below are pictures of 4 pieces that I sold to a couple in Bloomington, IN. The stone was just making a round trip, returning close to where it was quarried.
This is "Jack's Bean Stalk" in its new home.
Another view.
This is "Moon Garden" which is based on "The Little Prince".
Another view.
... and this is "Claw Flower" bird bath with a top carved from Alabama Marble.
Another view.
They also bought this small indoor sculpture called "Spark Sprout".

... ending the post with some nature pictures... how about this strange cloud?
... and here are 2 trees that we saw in the woods.... not sure what's going on here...
