Now this is progress...

 I've been digging in the yard and moving rocks for ta little while now, and it's a beautiful thing. Not only am I still semi upright, but I'm making real actual progress...

I had started reworking the pavers in the yard several years ago, trying to move towards having actual outdoor studio and chillout spaces back there, so I could sculpt while I had the grill goin'. I also started an organic garden project in the yard almost two years ago, with containers. There are pavers under the grill and stuff in the back.

Seemed like a good idea at the time... Did I mention that the yard is land locked, and I've got to bring everything down the long side of house? Bags of dirt, sand, gravel...great workout. As of today, I've got the pavers done, grill together, and I'm just trying to figure out yard furniture, while waiting for a contractor to run some power for the outdoor studio. Here's what we have to deal with:
Not too long before I can weld and sculpt in that yard...by the way, anyone want some plastic furniture?

The cycle of art

The last month has found me trying to finish up the yard, for my outdoor studio, as well as starting numerous other projects. Several paintings and sculptures, which I'll tease here:
