Budding artist

Another of my bass goals was to inspire kids and adults alike. That's why I made it interactive. I thought it would inspire budding musicians. But, as with most of God's inspirations, there was more to it than that...

My nephew has always been the creative sort and he spent time with us during the crunch in July. He was busy in the shop with me and created his own sculptures. Cool!

Going once...going twice...

SOLD! The buyer is a VERY nice person, too. It was, of course, a bargain, but the piece is loved and appreciated and I'm very glad she was the one who bought it. And.. it isn't unusual that these art fundraiser events sell great art at bargain prices (if the artists don't buy them back). And... my piece was one of many bargains that evening. And... I reached my goal!

I put my art out into the world... Contacts were made... I was introduced to some very successful Omaha artists... And, I think, my work was noticed by them and by others. On top of all that, since the buyer is building a new house, she has arranged to keep my piece (her piece now) at the Heller Art Gallery there in Rockbrook Village until her house or landscape is ready for the sculpture to be installed. So... I will also still get to display the piece publicly for some time. Kudos to Heller Art for their great generosity!

Heller Art has been very encouraging, too. And if you have never been there, you should go... they have some great art available for purchase. I may even see if they will show more of mine.
