First and Last
last one of 07 flower
first one of 08 Tengu
"Tengu 天狗are mountain and forest goblins with both Shinto and Buddhist attributes. Their supernatural powers include shape-shifting into human or animal forms, the ability to speak to humans without moving their mouth, the magic of moving instantly from place to place without using their wings, and the sorcery to appear uninvited in the dreams of the living.
The patron of martial arts, the bird-like Tengu is a skilled warrior and mischief maker, especially prone to playing tricks on arrogant and vainglorious Buddhist priests, and to punishing those who willfully misuse knowledge and authority to gain fame or position. In bygone days, they also inflicted their punishments on vain and arrogant samurai warriors. They dislike braggarts, and those who corrupt the Dharma (law). " .... from Japanese Buddhist statuary web page.
thanks for looking

Your work is so outstanding and above and beyond what I can even imagine doing, it blows me away. I cannot even visualize how you do it.
Maybe you need to come to Asheville, NC and teach a class or something, ya' know?

So beautiful. I wanted to take your class that was offered recently but have not been able to do that. Maybe someday it will work out... I love the many tones and gradations of color that you create...

John!!! Good to see you posting...your new creations are gorgeous of course, a super end and great beginning to last year and the new.
Ellen Black & I were in John's class together a couple years ago at Momka's...we had a blast and learned so much. If any of you are remotely thinking about one of his classes...run, don't walk and sign up. He is mesmirizing to watch, and a dang nice guy too!
