Weekly updates on what happend in Richard Art life in the last 7 days
I spent most of this week on Chat GPT training it to produce what I wanted on the large new Bronze sculptures. It worked. Now we just have to tweak and go into production. The limitations are the patina's on bronze. Lets see.
Probably a little too much of a mirror finish, but if Jeff Koons can do it, so can I.
Mandy with a Verdigris green patina.
I found this online. Holding thumbs.
Literally I sat on the couch with the fire going with my laptop on my lap. 😊
The only other thing that happened was a really good start to the Muizenberg Series but you saw that last week.
More images to follow as they come out the studio.
Hendrik getting stuck into prepping the wood.
We are going with a 3 prong approach.
Once we have this done then I will apply my creative mind to create this body of work.
This one is lightly sanded.
This one is mildly sanded showing the layers of paint. I bet this wood could tell a few stories.
This piece is going to be spectacular with the Girls on.
This week, I also had a collector in Johannesburg requesting information on the Wonderwoman artwork he recently acquired, so I updated the catalogue from 2005, 21 years ago when I did the Wonderwoman series.
Do you remember these? Whoaaaaaa. flash back 21 years ago. (No computers were harmed in the making of this image).
That’s it. The week was short and sweet.
Wolschie sent me this pic from a collector in Germany.
Sami sent me this pic of the art piece I left in Sardinia.
And this one. Remember I decided not to bring it back as Sardinia have strict laws about removing stuff off the beaches. It did bring back fond memories of Joanne and I hiking the island and passing remote beaches.
We did get back into swing with Sunday lunch and Joanne decided on a braai, so I got stuck in with all the gear. Rump kebabs, lamb ribs and corn on the cob. Or as we call them: Mielies.
On your marks, gets set, go.
Rump kebabs.
I love cooking in these pans on the coals.
Thanks for reading.
