Birch Relief

[Dylan]

Here's what I've been working on. It's Inch and a half birch. The oval is 26" by 9" and the deepest depth is 7/8". As you can see I've got along way to go yet.

Re: Birch Relief

Dylan, that's one awesome piece. You have the relief done perfectly. I can't wait to see the detailing. Is this a comission piece or a keeper for you? Well done man!

Re: Birch Relief

Dylan: At first I thought that your scene in the birch wood had a "stretched" look to it and then I began to put things into perspective and have since determined that my "illusion" must only have been the effects created by a fine artist! I finally determined this reality by looking at everything else in your picture other than the carving, like the electrical outlet and your carving knives which all appeared normal and "unstretched".

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... now that I've studied it some more, perhaps this effect was caused from taking the picture from a downward angle instead of shooting the picture "straight-on"?? If that is so then I really like the way that this angle plays on my brain when it's trying to process the art.

And perhaps, I'm reading way too far into this but that's the way that all of my college art professor's screwed up my brain (maybe in a good way though) and I just believe that all art (even a doodle) is a communication that has meaning and must be understood even when the artist states no intended meaning.

On another level the picture is so balanced with trees at several different depths and I'm drawn to the barn at this point in the carving but that might change as the carving progresses. Before it's done I might just wanna bypass the barn and run full-blast into that grove of trees to the left of the barn.

Looking very good. Thanks for posting!!
