Lu Bu

The Second Larger Scale Sculpture

Lu Bu was a second century AD Chinese warlord....sort of a second level warlord, but a fierce one.
He served under another higher level warlord by the name of Ding (something), and in 189 AD he killed Ding and delivered his head to an even stronger warlord who's name was Dong.  True story!
Lu Bu died in 199 AD.

Seems only appropriate that I now have his head on a stick!

Opening Night at the TFA sculpture show

Last night was the preview party/opening night reception for the juried sculpture show.  I quickly realized how lucky I was just to have been allowed in!  A very good show, with abou 44 accepted entries from 5 states. The large outside pieces were terrific. Probably a dozen ranging in size from 3 feet tall up to maybe 15 feet tall. So well done, and hundreds if not thousands of work hours! Made my little entry seem quite insignificant!  But everyone was complimentary, and encouraging, so on to the next level.....I hope!

So, all in all, a great and inspiring experience. The show runs for a month, so don't miss it if you are in the area!
