Sculptures and Glazing Hot Love Poems






Well, tonight is First Friday at Two Rivers Gallery the co-op gallery we belong to. And, as it is February and the theme is for the month is love, Martha has been working on refining her love poems to recite at the gallery reception tonight. In the course of the preparation for this we looked for and found old love poems and art poems we had written to each other over the years. That was fun and rewarding in it-self.

 Not all of those poems will be read tonight, but we have wanted to find some of those for some time for the book of art and poems that has been in the works for quite a while. Yeah! on finding those poems.

Meanwhile, the work has continued on the Harvest Pride Sculpture for the Quincy Library. And, I can say now that it is almost done. It should be ready by next week. And as we have been working on the firing and glazing of that piece Martha has been busy making even more sculptures.

And, as if that weren’t enough, we have had a number of fired works that were never glazed. So, for this month’s show we have finally gotten back to glazing those pieces. Martha fell in love with the glazing I developed for the small sculpture that is already in the Quincy Library and asked that help her do that same treatment to one of her sculptures that we had never glazed. It looks great and Martha put her own spin on the technique I developed for the smaller piece.

Shortly we will be taking some of these works over to the gallery to be installed in time for tonight’s show. Wow! So much to do and so little time to do it all.
So, enough for now till our next blog have a very artful day
