I have been busy finishing off several relief pieces that I will be showing at Saltwater Artists Gallery in New Harbor this summer. One of them is a wood relief that I began quite some time ago and never got around to finishing. I needed to do some clean-up of details and sanding of the surfaces. After sealing the piece with Butcher's Wax, I added a frame with walnut strips. Pleased with the outcome. I also completed 2 additional plaster reliefs using the same casting technique that I have used in the past. One is the smaller size that I put in a 10" x 10" frame and the other is larger and is in a 9" x 13" frame. If you are interested in the plaster relief process that I used to create |
these pieces you can read about it in several of my past blog posts - 8/10/15, 8/26/16, and 8/25/20. It has been an interesting challenge over the years to create new compositions in a relatively small space - varying the number and positioning of the fish as well as the addition (or not) of the vegetation. But then - I have always enjoyed a challenge!
