“Do you want to come take some pictures?”
My immediate response to that question is an emphatic “YES!” regardless of who’s asking! This time, I’m sitting in the coffee house and i hear my favorite question. I come to find out that the asker is none other than Perry Petry, fantastic artist! He creates sculptures from what ordinary people believe to be just dry wood. Seeing a tree stump, he remarks:
“I see there two dolphins, and they’re emerging out of the waves over here…” He doesn’t see a stump– he sees beauty just waiting to escape from the grain! So it was to my great delight that I was able to photograph 8 new pieces of his work. The session went so well and was so much fun that we are hoping to have a start-to-finish series of one of his pieces in the future.
His work is fantastic, i wish he had a website i could link you to. But on another note…
Lesson of the day: go to the Hope Town Coffee House! You never know all the great things that can happen to you there.
