All very good William, my favourite though is the first picture of the stork. I love the way the artist has been clever enough to show us an 'underwater' perspective as well...
@RedPat: there was a concert by the husband and wife band Whitehorse that was supposed to go last night. The concert did get called off because of the extreme cold.
They are exquisite. It's too bad they can't be preserved and enjoyed in later years! Or maybe these artists work with other material and so similar carvings?
I just can't get over the beauty of these pieces. they are so great.

It's a pity they can not exist in the heat.
ReplyDeleteTomás.

ReplyDeleteAll fabulous William, if I had to choose it would be the first, the heron, very elegant!
ReplyDelete@MB: I agree!
ReplyDelete@Tomas: alas, no.
@Karl: they are.
@Tammie: thanks!
@Hilary: indeed.
They're all incredible!
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful again, but this time the first and the third are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of intricate detail in these. I'm not at all sure what the second one is?
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe maple leaf is my favourite! They are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSadly these beauties won't last!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! The maple leaf. What a nice touch. I can't see one without bursting into song. "Oh, Canada.....!"
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday.

That first one is my favorite in this group.
ReplyDelete@Grace: it is elegant!
ReplyDelete@Norma: they are.
@Jan: thanks!
@Red: in that case, the carver turned empty space into the subject, carving the outline of a bug into the ice.
@Jennifer: I agree!
@Ciel: the maple leaf's my favourite of this set too.
@VP: they don't last long, but they're a pleasure to see.
@Janis: that's my reaction!
@Sharon: it works for me too.
Beautiful !!
ReplyDeleteI heard on the radio that the program this weekend was amended because of the cold temps. Too bad!
ReplyDeleteAll very good William, my favourite though is the first picture of the stork. I love the way the artist has been clever enough to show us an 'underwater' perspective as well...
ReplyDeleteThese sculptures have been stunning!
ReplyDeleteAs partial as I am to herons, I think the maple leaf rocks!
ReplyDeleteSo clever and tasty!
ReplyDelete@Orvokki: thanks!
ReplyDelete@RedPat: there was a concert by the husband and wife band Whitehorse that was supposed to go last night. The concert did get called off because of the extreme cold.
@Geoff: I wondered if anyone might catch that!
@Jackie: more to come!
@Revrunner: the carvers did wonderful this year.
@Cloudia: thanks!
oh, that first one is marvelous! hands down, my favorite ever.
ReplyDeleteThe flying one takes my breath away!
ReplyDeleteThey look so delicate!
ReplyDeleteThey are exquisite. It's too bad they can't be preserved and enjoyed in later years! Or maybe these artists work with other material and so similar carvings?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...and a touch whimsical, especially with that second one.
ReplyDeleteWow! So much artistry going into something so ephemeral! I wonder if the artist feels freed by knowing the work is not permanent.
ReplyDeleteAs ever, they all look amazing!
ReplyDeleteIncredibly lovely!
ReplyDelete@Tex: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Mari: thank you!
@Lois: they are delicate.
@Lowell: I imagine a lot of them work with wood.
@Kay: indeed!
@Linda: I wonder too!
@Lauren: they do, yes.
@EG: I agree!
The heron is a simple composition, but very lovely. Graceful birds, graceful sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
