HELEN'S FISH
Started 5-21-2020
Status as of 5-30-2010 DONE
with Oliver at Fort Trumbull
Because of the two sided nature of these fish, I now also provide a black shelf
with a lip that can be used so one can easily display either side the fish
simply by turning it around.

Enlarging the circle and modifying other areas.
The circle cut out 5-23-2010
Looking good! A lot more layers to go.
After sanding the edges and inperfections
a liberal application of gesso
is applied filling in the spaces
I am thinking of adding a fish within the oval window
and a large fin on the front side.
Also, Let there be ruby red lips!

5-26-2005 almost ready for color
needs some stuff on the hat.
I love making these fish with someone in mind.
This one has been a lot of work to fill and smooth out the glued sandwich joints. As of this morning, he is lookin' good. Still need to construct the extra fish for the back side.
This will happen tonight.
This one will be a joy. I found the cone in my studio and it just rolled into my imagination to be rendered as a large fish. I made the cone a while ago and it is set up to be a cap on the pole attached to Varuna Vibe. You can folow the progress as I work on the sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being Helen George
Helen: This provides the template and possibley the center panel from which the the balance of the design will flow.
ReplyDeleteThe extra fish did not get started last night. Lazinesds before the thunderstorm is my excuse. I slept right through the storm whick also involved a lights out period from tye lightning. I understand it was pretty wild. I had a great sleep which is a plus for me at my age.
ReplyDeleteI think I will make a fin tonight for the front side, a fish or two for the backside oval, and, I might even get out my favorite green and my favorite pink and my favorite subdued black (for outlinig). It is very possible that I will just watch some TV with my sister and sit around on the porch and go to bed early. Thanks for being. George
