Vancouver Artist

This is Sharon’s watercolour of an exquisite ivory and bronze bust by Charles van der Stappen c. 1897 entitled “The Mysterious Sphinx”. Coolest sculpture ever (except for the ivory part of course).

Sharon Attempts a Watercolour

It’s been years since I’ve done any “real” art, since digital graphics has been my job.  Thought I’d like to have a go at a watercolour.  Let me know what you think.

Watermelon Carving entitled “Sun Damage”

Clive slips in a few final watermelon carvings before pumpkin season begins. This one’s entitled “Sun Damage”.   This is what happens with too much exposure to the sun; a fervent desire to carve watermelons!

Watermelon and Pumpkin Carvings

Let’s do a quick recap of Clive’s carving in the past year or so since we started the site – he’s been on Global BC TV demonstrating his carving skills, at the Food & Sustenance Fair and carved with the big guys at Metrotown’s Monster Pumpkin show, to name a few of my fave moments.  To keep his name out there on the web, seems we have to do a lot of this blah, blahing, so forgive us if we’ve repeated ourselves a blog or two.  Anyway, hope you enjoy the site!

Here’s Clive newest extreme watermelon carving entitled ”Baboon Watermelon”
