Hubby's Art Work
My husband is a very talented artist. He usually paints desert scenes from Southern Utah with red rocks and lots of blue skies. However, he has done a few wood carvings too. He recently completed a piece and entered it in a juried art show where it was accepted for display. On Wednesday we made the one hour drive to the Springville Museum of Art to see it and the other pieces of art in the exhibit. It didn't win any ribbons, and no one has purchased it, but after seeing the other art on display he's just thrilled that it was accepted at all! Various pictures below - including the commentary that accompanies his piece.
We were amazed at this piece that was on display too because it was so similar to his!
Years ago he carved this dragon who sits on a shelf by our front door. He calls it the Watch Dragon and it guards our home against intruders. So far it has worked great! LOL
You can probably tell from these pictures that his taste in art and my taste in quilts & decorating don't exactly mesh so we've had to divide the house up into 'territories' and are given free reign on displaying our work there! LOL

Very talented, indeed! What a wonderful creation!
That is really strange that there would be another piece so similar. Your comments about the dragon, styles, and territories are amusing--to those of us that don't have to live in the "house divided". : )
That is a fabulous piece of Art! I loved the commentary on it too, a touch of grace inspired I think. I know you are very proud of him!!! Love the dragon too! Great details in his work! Bravo!
Barry did a great job! I loved reading his story of inspiration.
What a talented husband you have. Cudos to him!!
Your husband's work is amazing, Gayle.
And he seems so humble...
I am glad he told the story of where the wood was derived and what his thoughts were.
Your home is full of creativity !

What a great sculptor Barry is. I like the fact that he let the piece of wood inspire him and he created a powerful piece of art with a message.
I like the commentary about his work.
Congratulations to him on having his sculpture accepted in the art show.
Have a nice weekend.

Hiw work is inspirational. Thanks for sharing. Isn't it nice that you both have passions.
Wow! You both have such talent! I love the work your husband made and would love to see some of his paintings. I just adore those southern Utah red rocks. I wish I could hop over to the Springville museum and take a look over there. Did you visit the Corn Wagon Quilt shop while you were there?
Thank you for sharing you husband's work. I loved hearing the story of this piece.
Your husband's carving is amazing! I love that the tree came from outside the Children's Justice Center--how appropriate. My and my husband's tastes are different, too! Can be challenging. ~Roberta
Wow! What an amazing talent!! How exciting to be sharing his newest piece with a wide audience!!
