This is the first carving that had to be completely readjusted. In the planning stage, I could see a bass leaping out of the water. As I began carving this old weathered antler, I realized I was in a bit of trouble when a previously unnoticed crack appeared. This put a stop to the bass and my imagination on high alert. Reviewing the space I still had to work with, a scene of a couple of ducks rising out of the swamp developed. This carving displayed with the proper lighting offers the viewer a moment when the sun is slowly breaking through the morning mist making everything around the swamp come to life. |
