Popular Post Charlie E Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Worked with a beautiful piece of wood today! Again inspired by the work of Fiona Kingdon. I found some cows and a windmill on a free photo site and placed them and the fence posts where the wood said they should go. Wish I could free hand them but I can't draw a stickman. Half inch oak. Measures about 7" by 9" Edited February 1, 2020 by Charlie E jerrye, Fran L, GrampaJim and 24 others 26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 It goes to show how a piece of wood can dictate what it wants to be! I wish I could find some of that wood! Beautiful work Charlie! Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran L Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 That is awesome “vision” of how the wood should become an art piece. I particularly like the “clouds” in the sky. You placed the fence and cows in the perfect spots to bring out that effect too!! Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be as special then though would it. Just glad I didn't ruin such a gorgeous piece of lumber. I was selling it at a fundraiser for childhood cancer tomorrow but my daughter in law spotted it on facebook so it's already sold, money still going to the charity of course. At least it stays in the family this way. meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 An awesome piece of art. The top of the wood looks like the sky around a setting sun, fabulous. You find some amazing wood Charlie and you work it well. Marg Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind words. No I don't. For one thing, I hate making frames. And since it's 1/2" oak I like how it looks without one.

Rockytime Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I have always had a fascination with rural scenes and more especially Aeromotor windmills. Windmills were the sentinels of the prairies. Without them early settlers and farmers could not exist. In the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas many old windmills are still standing. I love to see them. Including them in your piece really completed the scene! Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
