4 Flowers

Strange Flower Growing from Rosin Tin

Strange 5x5 Flower with 3 Bent Stems

Strange Flower with Folded 3x3 Petals

Strange Iron Age 1x1 Flower

Above are 4 of the 25 flowers, mutants of or ancestors to the ideal 5×5 flower.

I am kind of tired of doing flowers, I realized. I actually did these 3 weeks ago, but lost interest quickly after a session making these 4. I really just want to do some more cedar panel sculpture/paintings either in the burned or assembled vein.

I did spend a few hours the other night sketching some other versions, but my heart’s just not in finishing. Would it be a good exercise in discipline to finish the series, or should I follow my (often) wandering mind here?

I also need to spend some more time taking photos. These are awful.

    I can relate. Standing over a sanding machine, making flowers, for hours on end is not exactly the most artisticly liberating experience. But I do like the end result.

    I think you should do what you feel the most passionate about.

    Perhaps making 25 is too overwelming, maybe you should try making one a day. I like what you are exploring with these.
