Scar on Mother Earth

Wow, that is awesome! Being from Western Colorado, I know how wildfires can really devastate the wilderness. Of course, we can never forget the Storm King fire and those who died.

Nice Job on the carving!

Oh Michael !!!
You just keep getting better and better.
The emotion shown here is obviously shared between the artist and the art. There is no other way to say it.
Out of tragedy emerges an amazing life.

You inspire, I have no more words.

Paul, thanks for the encouraging comment. It was hard to get the atmosphere of the people out of my head. It made it easy to translate their feelings in to my sculpture.I guess inspiration comes in many forms. Thank you Eli I appreciate all comments from you!!!

You did a fantastic piece of artwork in your carving…. and really captured his expression. I hope he and the others found a new home and I know exactly how he feels cause I lost my home to flood waters back in 2005.

Thanks Steve. I have been studying bone structure and muscle tone in different ages. Because of my concentration of muscle groups in the face and throat, my hair and clothes details have suffered because I Am determined to get the face and throat correct first. Then I will open up the hair flow and cape flow to accentuate the perimeter and balance of the complete sculpture.
