Today is the anniversary of the day I became a full-time artist nine years ago after selling my beeswax candle business, Lumina Candles & Art.
I am celebrating by offering special savings from my Web site that will continue through the last day of February.
But also, I wanted to do a bit of follow-up on a stone carving commission that I completed back in November. While I have shared images and thoughts of my progress on the carving of my first Gable Stone on my Facebook Fan Page, I last mentioned the art commission here on the October 1st posting.
Here is the finished carving. She is sealed 17” x 20” Cordova Creme Texas limestone. “Kalli & Satchel” depicts the young lady of the house and the family pet. The little girl loves balloons and there are three, each representing a human member of the family (mom, dad, daughter).
Lighting with lights at night -- not the best image, but perhaps you can still see that this is sculpture, not painting.
The Gable Stone is mounted in a frame above the doorway.
