Another Nuthatch has been let loose. This time at Lincoln Middle School where I had the pleasure of presenting for “Career Day”. I talked with a great bunch of kids about what it’s like to be a working artist and got a chance to see some real talent at work with the clay I brought. Thanks to all that chose my talk (and those of you who didn’t, and just got stuck there because the Chef’s group was full. It’s hard to compete with ice cream sandwiches). Thanks also to Miss Sapieka for inviting me. I had a great time. The school offered up a great deal of opportunities to make some neat compositions and it was hard to figure out where best to leave the bird. Alright kids, get out there and find it.

Thanks to Nan and her observant colleagues for not only discovering the first of three nuthatches placed in the preserve, but also taking the time to shoot a photo and send it to me. I imagine the other two are still out there somewhere waiting to be found. This new series was done in conjunction with the Friends of Ryerson Woods “Aviary” art exhibition that will be on display until April 28th.

Thanks to fellow sculptor Merrilee Cleveland for placing Nuthatch #3, and for dragging it half way around the world in her purse.

Another Nuthatch was placed and the second sculpture was created while I was out at the 25th Annual Sculpture in the Park exhibition in Loveland earlier this month. http://www.sculptureinthepark.org/benson_park.html This time the little bird remained in place for only a few hours before some one found it so it will be interesting to see if it turns up again somewhere else. The third piece in the series was given to fellow sculptor Darrell Davis to take along home with him to Arlington Texas. I’m looking forward to seeing what he comes up with.

I couldn’t think of a better place to inaugurate the project than at the first annual “Riverspan” sculpture exhibition. www.riverspansculpture.org The bridge was a perfect venue for the show, and I had the opportunity to meet some fantastic artists. The first Nuthatch was placed on the bridge on Sunday evening after the show. Thanks to everyone who attended, and for your enthusiasm regarding this little project.
