OK, I haven't sold any of my wooden sculptures and before you hammer me with 'that's not a reason for making art' (yes you, my sole blogger friend hiding behind your mothers' skirts!) I ain't got no room left in da workshop. So maybe I will take the 'wooden' (I've just realised how bad that sounds) out of sculpture and throw some colour on them. Soulmate Billie has made a start above transforming my running man from a swastika to...well...a funrunningmanfunrunningmanfun...sigh, now I've got to think up colour combinations, being a failed artist is not easy!!

Cosmic...thanks, it's yours. I'll bring it as hand luggage when I come to Australia.
I'm amazed at how colour changes perception. Well maybe not, don't we 'colour' things all the time?
Fucoid....I blush and enjoy Malevichs' running man. I agree it's feeling we want to portray in art but the language is difficult. As soon as we make a mark it is objectified. I am proud of the craftmanship of my sculptures but in the end that is all some people see. By covering up the skill with colour they might 'see' the feeling more.
that's the way the sun runs...
HB... do you think the sun has fun when it runs?
