My good friend Sarah is easily one of the most visionary, creative people I know. The Warehouse in Hickory is her home, her gallery, her creative space. It is enchanted.

A tower of dry-stacked rocks. I found these in the woods around my house, scattered up and down hills, in the waters of creeks and branches, and still holding their place in the foundations of long gone buildings.

Back in 1924, the good people of Catawba County dedicated their new courthouse, on the courthouse square in Newton, our county seat. This post card depicts the immediately preceding courthouse as it stood prior to 1924.

Folk Art Abstract

2009-02-02T18:16:00.004-05:00

If I don't make it as a folk artist, I think I'll take up abstraction. This piece is my "Reflection On Spray Paint, Bottle Caps, and Plywood".

Four Fish On A Table

2007-03-19T08:52:00.000-05:00

Each of these fish is painted on a thin poplar board I cut at the lumber yard where I work. Even I want a break from snakes now and then.

The Original Devil Head Snake

2007-03-11T17:33:00.000-05:00

This piece was one of the first things I made and it is still one of my favorites. The wood is Maple, the ears, teeth, and moustache are tin.

I never see him without thinking of poor Eve.

Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

2007-03-08T08:55:00.000-05:00

Just outside Duck, North Carolina, three days into a ride with my son. We were riding a BMW K1200RS. We rode across North Carolina, up and down the Outer Banks and on into Virginia, ate lots of good BBQ and seafood, climbed a Forest Service Fire Tower, and rode all the way home from Kinston in the pouring rain.

Whirlygig On A Table

2007-03-05T23:49:00.000-05:00

My whirlygigs are made of either Wild Cherry or Dogwood bases and almost always have a Honeysuckle Vine snake twined round and round. The top is made of aluminum that I cut and paint, the red star is of tin. If you light a candle under one of my whirlygigs, the fan starts to turn. Whirlygigs are among my favorite things to make.
