Seahorses and Sirens

This is the completed seahorse dimensional painting.

It was an adventure to create and cut out the seahorse to fit.

This piece measures 15 inches.

I am still enjoying the works, just not able to post every day.

Last night I was just too tired to stay awake much past church.

It had been a long day of designing and tracing off pieces, then cutting them out to go on the rounds.

We then were off to the church for the breakdown of the Lost world.

It took eight hours to put into place.

Wednesday evening took two hours to break down.

The long neck and the tyrannosaurus rex have a home in children's church for the next two months.

Our pastor is also using 4 of the panels to decorate the stage along with two of the gates and sign.

Several of the plant decorations are being used as well.

The velociraptor and triceratops are going to the Daphne public library.

Unfortunately, the Pterodactyl had to go into the trash bin.

He was just too big and difficult to hang.

Excitement is already building for next year's Summer Surge.

This is the first year I've heard so much positive feedback from everything.

I've heard from both Pastors, their wives, and many parents.

I am amazed at what the Spirit allowed me to create.

Next year........

This one!

"Siren" is 14.5 inches and was interesting to paint.

You will have to see this one in person to really appreciate the detail and the cut-out portions.

The background was nearly a disaster as I forgot to paint it before gluing her down.

Fortunately, I was able to get my brush down into the back and make seaweed.

She is a lovely addition to the series.

More wonders to come!

Tomorrow is going to be a tough one!

It's a 24 inch piece, recycling an older octopus that I'm trying to salvage.

It's going to be pretty amazing.
