Brick in Summer

Well, I'm home on hiatus until next week when I start cutting a batch of special shaped doglegs and chunks of brick last described as mystical geometric forms in Plato's studies. Just trying to make some CA outdoor  pizza ovens cohesive in color. They could have sawed up the angles, but then the exposed insides of the brick are pink and the brick skin open to weather intrusion.

Meanwhile, I groom my bamboo garden and enjoy a latte with my cat in the back yard. I saiid, in the back yard...are you coming? Give me a hand. Yeah, it's a big carved brick.

Windy Hills





Mike Skelton at Windy Hills, Louisville, KY sent me these shots of their three new city signs this morning. Nice shots with the landscaping in place. The larger carving with two historic homes featured is 5' x 12', the other two are each 4' x 9' each. 
I completed the carving phase in the Fall of 2011 at Cloud Ceramics, Concordia, KS. My partner in art, Kris King, supervised the installation last Fall while I was carving through the schedule conundrum on another project.
