Shell Fragment Series #4

This I like very much. I love pieces that take it to another lever, and this sure does. Very nice work

Thanks Dick! I've got two more that are in the works, if I ever get back to them. Right now I'm getting ready for November outdoor shows.

Very nice, I really like all of your shells.

Hi Peter, and thanks! There is so much inspiration out there in Mother Nature's domain, and the shells are just part of it.

Nice job! When I first looked at it I thought it really was a fossil you were displaying.

Nice job. I love the way you bring nature and wood together. Very nice. I like your entire series

Many thanks to all for your comments!

Dale, I've always enjoyed the fraud of creating something out of wood that looks like something definitely not of wood. I get a kick out of it when visitors to my booth at shows turn to me and say "that's wood?".

Ronald, this series has all sorts of possibilities, only begun to scratch the surface, so to speak. Good luck on Artprize, as you have some very stiff competition. Paul Balliker lives just south of where I find my best shell fragments, and his work is incredible.

Rick

Rick, another excellent piece. Love the texture that you use to achieve realisim. Great concept, great sculpture.

Thanks John! I've already got an idea how to make the next one even more integral and organic...stay tuned.

Smiles,
Rick
