Noon Cello Sculpture

I salvage wood from a marine yard nearby. My ideas for using the wood don't always happen right away. Sometimes I look at certain pieces then dive right in with an idea. Sometimes I feel a little hypnotized as I'm creating. I forget to eat, pay attention to time and drown out anything outside my studio area. This piece took months to envision color pallette and placement of ideas. I wanted to create an emotion that would draw people to this piece and smile because, hey, who doesn't like music?? Frank Sinatra sang Girl From Ipanema years ago...and that is where I "see" this piece...in an island setting or to add conversation and color to a special room.
