Popular Post DickMira Posted November 27, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 This finished portrait was 19" x 13" completed on a beautiful piece of nicely figured elm. Note that the two sides of the face and neck were treated in different ways. The spots on the left side of the giraffe's face were finished using standard fretwork techniques with a satin black backer board and the spots on the right side were carved, textured, and darkened with burnt umber staining. These choices were made simply for their artistic variation. There are nine sub-species of giraffes and each has a unique coat pattern with variations in the color of the spots among the different species. jollyred, Birchbark, ChelCass and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickMira Posted November 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thanks for your comments. It tickles me because for all the time I have been scrolling, I was frustrated by the attitude of many "artists" running art shows. They always felt that scrollsawing was a craft and NOT art. A few pieces of different colored fabric stapled to a board, now that was art. I definitely agree with you that seeing woodwork in person is definitely superior to photos which don't do justice to grain patterns on these beautiful woods. Perhaps, another gallery showing in the future??? namunolie and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
