Painted sculptures








I've been installing my latest painted sculptures in the garden at Eggsentric It's starting to look like a fair ground, makes me smile though.

Leaving


Sure I've been out sailing. Couple of times in the last week. The sea is getting that sparkly, summer look and the fish are biting. I love the islands offshore, stacked up like pancakes ready to topple over. The penguins are cute in groups of two or three fishing in the swell and the horizon beckons like a siren on the rocks.


Why is it that I always get this leaving feeling?

Play with words

We played our third night of four last night of '12 Angry Men' to another full house (OK we can only fit 90 punters in our little theatre). It seems to be received well. Looking forward to the final performance party tonight, it's been a long 3 months to be angry!

Committed for life (NO)

I'm having an interesting life. But if you are looking for a 9-5 man who will wait 35 years for his gold watch I wouldn't look in this direction.
My many professions. Does being paid for what you do make it a profession?

Farmer ........Dairy, pigs, beef, milking goats, poultry
Portable sawmill owner & operator
Fish factory owner
Gardener
Concrete water tank builder
Actor.....Film, television, theatre
Candlemaker
Cobbler
Knifehand
Chef
Logging contractor
Restauranter
Fisherman
Musician
Artist........Sculptor, painter, collage
Art teacher
Cooking teacher


Who knows what the next 10 years will bring.

Creativity lost

I have always bemoaned my lack of talent which is made up for by dogged persistence. But now I come to think of it, I can't lose my creativity like so many artists, if I never had it in the first place. Watch this space for "Still sculpting at 90". It's not that far away!

Piano Men



So now we have Piano M(a)en the ultimate in frustration to paint inside and out! Maybe too much white but I ain't going to paint them again!

Paintbrush blues


Never in a 1000 years did I think after cutting, sanding, glueing and nailing my sculptures together I would be painting each little piece of wood....twice! Undercoat and topcoat. I haven't got room to store them inside so the wood is weathering which looks good on some but dowdy on others. I hope I am doing the right thing!!

As usual I have my next big project on my mind but I must finish present projects or it will all get out of hand. Oh to have lotsa little assistants.
