Saol Álainn


























I knew that J would have interesting friends. I met the sculptor, Doyle, last night. Here he is posed before the rough start to Jesus. His model needs some rework, and he told me about a couple of the problems with it and then demonstrated the power chisel he uses. When he handed it to me, I found it to be a lot heavier than I expected and Doyle could do some delicate and amazing work with it. His creations run the gamut from a larger than life Jesus to an Altar to the Trillium Orchid. I love his open mindedness and passion. His house was full of himself, every object collected or created from a personal involvement or interest or symbol. Sometime J and I will have to go back for that offer to share brandy. I'll bet Daryl would love to meet him.
Wow! that could be cataclysmic!
