Thankyou.

It is a nice feature that i put a lot of emphasis on to match the flowing lines of the piece itself.

Its part of the piece that she likes herself😀

When you use choose yew for a project, you are 3/4 way to a nice piece.

Thankyou.

For me its a lot easier because I love working with wood, especially yew. And because of that, its not a work project, its an enjoyable experience in revealing the beauty of the medium. I think an ordinary yew log has a beauty all of its own.😀

For anyone who's not familiar with Kadman's skills, take a look at this thread (among others). The man is a genius. The original thread about that car is a treat, too.

@kadman, please don't get a big head, now.

😄😄 Ha Ha. I think genius is well stretching it.

I like a challenge, and i like to test myself to get a good result. Thats it. I take my time, and dont get too stressed when it does not go to plan.

Luckily things went well on the sculpture, and going well on the car, what can i say, lady luck is with me at the moment.

No, I think genius is the right word... after all, they do say that it takes one to know one.... right? 🤪😉

today's piece...

I don't know about other folk's experiences, but following the loss of my father in 2021 I have found it incredibly hard to get back to painting regularly.

These two are really the most recent things, and they date from August last year, a couple of views of Portrane/Donabate

Wolff · 17-04-2023 10:15am

My own father died in 2021 as well Ciderman,the 1st christmas after he passed I came up with the idea of putting a calendar together with paintings from that year - he had a thing for calendars - he would have loved it

It was hard to get motivated again but I found painting a great way to deal with the grief - the old man was my biggest fan - I can't let him down now can I !
