It's French, you know, a cormoran. How can you speak French without nostrils? ^^^^

hey there, say... wow, i missed seeing those metal birds!
wow...
well, i had these done, just back for the 'bird' memorial...
one looked really good, but the other second? i think i had the
face 'not quite right' somehow... off a bit, (the shape?)
not sure... :( (i do that sometimes, and can't quite line it up right) ...
but the first one, i was very happy with, :)
i am FINALLY back to working on paintings...
i have had a busy YARD time -- FIX-UP and enjoying it...
*trying to do another small pond, but, one that will 'run'...
will hope to post more paintings, again, soon...
until then:
here are these--they have some 'birds' hidden in them:
then, there is this for a friend of mine, and her 'favorite actor'
from a medical show she likes (though me and my buddies, enjoyed this
actor, as a cowboy) :)) instead...
this has LADYBUGS on it, as, her sister died from cancer, and her
sister LOVED ladybugs... so, i added them all over this, as the
'doctor issue' ...
then-- this was done for my step-grandkids' cousin:
that's it for now, but, quite a few are on the ol' starting-line...
and have been for about whewww---- 6 months, :O

I found this to be very beautiful. The medium is "firebricks". They are a soft white, very finely made.
This appeals to my own personal aesthetic. I like repetition, simplicity of form and material.
Of course the way they are lit from above is key to the luminous effect.

Great stuff . If knew how to weld my yard would be full of scrap metal art. Right now I have to settle for ( unmodified) vintage wrought iron.
Phyl's pics are interesting- the second shows how the blocks are stacked but the first - has a lighting trick or optical illusion looks like there are no base blocks supporting the tiers- kinda weird ( in a good way)
Neebee - nice one of Jim & We've got one of Pennsyl's pieces at our place .
@ Xcon- what is that? Hard to tell what it's made of. Lunate is generally bone but that looks like some amazing stone implement.
PS: I've got this years pile of art finished and getting packed up to ship to San Francisco. I'll get some pics up .

justthemaid,
Get a Mig or a stick welder. Anyone can weld with those technologies. Gas welding (oxy-acetelyene) takes real skill, though.

Someone gifted me a really crappy small welder at one point- never had any luck with it. Probably need a second try with a better rig and an auto- darkening hood. It's something I'd be good at if I could see what I'm doing.
I've been recycling some busted up Victorian- era body parts ( tornado flattened a 100 year- old church. )

I recently bought this painting by Cornelis Springer, painted in 1842, which is early in his very successful career. This is a large, newly discovered work by this notable artist, who is represented in many museums, both in the US and especially in Europe, since he lived in Holland. Springer's work was greatly admired, and commanded high prices during his working career. He is considered the master of 19th century architectural and street scenes in Europe; particularly in the Netherlands. I am quite excited to acquire this fine painting.

I missed the most recent posts from October. Nice work, JTM! Steve congratulations on your new beautiful painting.
My sister, who teaches art and has a background in art history, has been here in So Cal for the first time. For her first visit we went to the Norton Simon, The Broad, the Huntington, and the Palm Springs Art Museum. I’m just vibrating at seeing all the wonderful art.
I’m always impressed by the Palm Springs Museum. They have a terrific permanent collection and do fantastic special exhibitions. There is one going on now which is just terrific! Here are a few:

Take a close look at these totems - they are made from golf bags!
There were a lot of excellent works by artists with Native American background in this exhibit.
That’s a terrific Mark Bradford painting in the background. He’s one of my favorite artists working today. The Broad has four of his pieces hanging right now. Just great stuff.
I’ll post more later.
