Reading a great book "The Coming Prosperity" by Philip Auerswald.  Not the typical "Megatrends" etc more along the lines of  "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell.  Find it an interesting read since it does not have a hardcore, monolithic agenda like so many books/commentators/political candidates that try to spin current events into their current fantasy of what the world is doing or should be doing.

Newest sculpture, Coordinate Harmony is almost 2/3 done.  Hot weather is slowing down it's finish slightly.  The remaining red & green markings are where some minor touch-up needs to be done.  CH's finished height will be 40".

Coordinate Harmony  will join the Music Series of Sculptures.

Coordinate Harmony is a series of harmonies that operate independently of each other.... Renaissance musicians often used this type of harmony, and it’s capable of producing rich and moving textures within a piece of music.

One of my other jobs when not sculpting is taking photos for various stock photo agencies including Canstock.  My photos include fruits and vegtables, construction equipment, road signs about times in your life, and commercial objects like natural gas tanks.  Slightly different look at some of what interests me.

Jody's final book, that is out for all formats the Ipad, Nook & Kindle, is titled Cat Secrets that Humans Should Know.   This is a an extension of her animals series.  First came 50 Secrets Humans Should Know, then Secrets Human Kids Should Know.  The Cat Secrets have been carefully teased out from three cats Jody & I have owned - two female store-bought cats & 1 ferrel male alley cat that we (really I) befriended - Jody was just seen as an object by Odo the male cat.  To Odo, my partner Jody was just "her" (said with a hiss) a barely tolerable person.  In the book, the cat with warpaint on his face & draped over a blue jean leg is Odo.   To find out more information on how to buy this e-pub go on our website to : http://www.wsggallery.com/animation.html
