NW Okie's Ramblings & Sculpture

Well! Another week of August 2010 has quickly passed and the "Dog Days" of Summer winding down, hopefully. Where have those days gone? Why do we seem to fly through the months so quickly?

I have been working on my Eagle totem sculpture now for 21 days. You can view my updates at the link listed here.

Recently I have started laying in some details in the wings and tail feathers. I removed the background trees in the sculpture because I did not like the way they were turning out. Besides that, they were getting in the way of working on the eagle. So I changed a few things. An artist can do that!

Someone on my Facebook site asked me, "Linda, how are you at carving Eagles as in the Bald kind?"

My reply, "To be truthful, this is my first at carving anything and I am still learning." And I have a lot to learn from those more experienced than myself. But I shall do it in a way that is my own style and not a copycat of someone elses. By the way, I am looking for a stone eye that looks like an eagle's eye. Where can I find one for my eagle?

This week we connected on Facebook from someone who lived around Chester and Orion, Oklahoma, where my mother's PARIS and HURT family grew up and went to school.

Bill Bowers says, "I left Chester (Oklahoma) in November of 1949, so I knew John and Geneva Smith very well. I went to grade school at the Orion school at least one year (maybe more) with E J, Sammy and Geneva Paris. My Mother was Verna Hamilton. Her mother's maiden name was Sarah Louthan, so our families are mingled quite a bit between the Louthan, Bensch, Paris, Hurt, Holub, Hamilton and Bowers families. I wish I would have ask more questions while I was growing up."

Any other PARIS / HURT / CONOVER family descendants out there?   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
