After a long hiatus I was back this weekend working on my life size Mary outside St Anastasia's church in Teaneck NJ. Day 7 was spent mostly on refining some facial details and beginning to carve the hands. Note how the un-worked sections had weathered to a gray color, which is what I'm thinking about doing with the final piece. I'm getting far enough along that I'm going to have to confront some decisions about how detailed I want the piece to be, I'm hoping to keep it somewhat stylized, while keeping the features graceful. Saturday I was carving with the church picnic in progress, thanks to all the ladies at the Caribbean food tent that kept me from starving.
