At our recent symposium Turn On Chicago, several attendees encouraged me to check out SMC. I'm still getting the hang of navigating the site so hopefully this thread ends up in the right area. This is a picture of my most recent piece. It was turned, cut and sanded (no carving done) and airbrushed. I rushed through it to get it ready for the symposiusm and planned to do the flower portion as a multi-axis turning with the butterfly in 3 dimensions as one solid piece.. I'm still working on the process. I am looking for an objective assessment, particularly from those with gallery experience, of whether this type of work has any gallery potential or not?
Blossom and leaves are Bradford Pear, stem is walnut/comp wood, base is unknown root burl. Approximately 20" tall x 8" dia.
