Like Grandpa, like granddaughter

This entry is a bit of a catch up. A few weeks ago entries for the 2007 2x2xU Sculpture exhibition were due and I submitted this piece of art. For the last three years the New Bohemia group has had this show. It is open to anyone and has very few rules. Mostly, it can’t be commercial or pornographic. You buy a blank 2 foot by 2 foot piece of plywood from them and use it to produce your artwork. Most of the entries are paintings but I generally try to do some kind of sculpture in bas relief. The last couple of years they have started having “themes”. Last year it was “My Face” and this year it was “My Dream”. Many of the participants ignore the theme and just do what they want to do, which is my approach. If you wanted to, you could call my entry this year “My Nightmare”.

Last Friday we picked Rachel up to spend the night with us (more on that in an upcoming blog). She showed us her latest creation, her first sculpture. It’s a bird sitting on a nest with wings spread. Not bad for a first attempt if I do say so.
