About the Item

Flamingos 3.5 x 7.0 x 3.5, 1.5 lbs Wood Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "The flamingos were made from a piece of cypress wood found on my son's property in Aiken, South Carolina. As with many of my sculptures, the natural beauty of the wood enhances the sculpture in ways that could not have been foreseen or imagined in the beginning. The multi-colors of the wood enhance the simple and elegant beauty of the birds with a natural orange tint, but the natural color of the wood near the base finished the legs and grasses perfectly, and unexpectedly. Whenever I am stressed, I view the serenity of the flamingo, its gracefulness and beauty, and I am instantly hopeful and filled with gratitude." About the Artist: Mike began creating original, one of a kind, wood sculptures when 17 years of age. He has no formal training, but an eye for the creative and the beauty of wood. After a year, he took a fifty year hiatus to pursue a family and professional career as a lawyer. He recently returned to wood sculpturing in the past two years, partly to stay positive and encouraged while experiencing life's transitions into aging. In a year and a half, he created approximately 30 sculptures. He considers it as art therapy. Although he initially created the sculptures for himself and family, others expressed admiration for the unique art and recently, he shared his first sculpture with the world by selling the cello player to a friend. She was so excited to share the cello player with her granddaughter, who plays the cello, he realized what happiness and hope art can bring to others and he wants to share his art with anyone who will appreciate and enjoy it. All of the woods have a unique history and meaning. He preserves history and memories through certain pieces of wood, by taking wood that would be destroyed and making it into something beautiful.
