Castaway stones is an idea I have been playing with most of my life. Many of my paintings and sculptures are in remote locations beiging with the tiny totem pole I planted at 11 (lost some years ago) to a tree painting I copied from Norval Morissseau (one of my favorite painters) that has since degenerated. Recently I am trying something a little more permanent using encaustic on limestone. These pieces are realitively small but hopefully durable (the wax) as they have been "set free" in Lake Ontario to take their chances with the waves. If any remain I will recolllect them in the spring. 1 Nov 2008 I released "Madame Toad and the Frogmen" unfortunately I haven't seen her since as we've had a few good storms!! Maybe someone picked her up (I hope so) I have put my email address on her we'll see! If so I hope they let her go again somewhere they can keep an eye on her to see how she fares.
