Just for one day a change of direction. I find variety withing my art work helpful and refreshing. As well as my conventional work which is progressing very well, I am still persevering with my sculpture. The above five boats are all inspired from trips to the Cornish peninsular over the years. From the left is firstly a lobster inshore fishing boat, which could well double as round the bay day trip vessel in summer. Then we have a small dingy, used for odd jobs around the harbour, possible owned by the local chandler as it is full of tools, obviously ready for a repair job somewhere. Next we have two double enders, these can take slightly heavier seas, so go further out, then finally we have a dingy which is being prepared for a days rod fishing, including a picnic. they aren't finished, details of the characters of each boat owner need adding, such as, what type of hat do they wear, which paper do they read, do they smoke a pipe. prefer tea or beer? Its good fun.

Next stage is building the harbour wall and then the water; remember everything is approximately 85% paper, 10% PVA glue and 1% from the kitchen bin and 4% acrylic paint and other glues! I think that adds up to 100. A little ingenuity is called for at times. Then lastly comes the framing and that is a nightmare. This piece is going to take a while to complete, but it is good fun: now that is the important part.

Please enjoy your art.
