Happy May Day! It feels like vandalism to post Will's drawings with the glare of reflective glass ghosting over the image.... But this one recently went out to a private collection and this is the best image we have of it.

Will has been continuing to head west to work on site on his series of farm animals, especially of "Captain" and "Fred" the Irish mid-weight draft horses.

The bicoloring has been an engaging technical challenge.

Highland Cow, May 2015

Concord, MA.  Will went looking for the big Holstein bull, but it didn't want to come to the drawing-accessible side of the pasture.  Discretion triumphing, Will did not climb in  for a closer look (despite "Jim's" reputation for docility).

This one, however, found the carrots enough of a temptation to wander over for a closer investigation of the man with the drawing pad...

Irish Mid-Weight Draft Horse, Drawing ©2015 by William P. Reimann
Will did a lot of preliminary drawings, and there's a series of completed works that we're all enjoying very much.  Here's one of the mid-size ones (original pencil image, 16" x 14")

Saving those bits of scrap wood

Okay, so maybe it can be worth it, saving all those little bits of scrap lumber...

My brother sent along this photo, commenting that Will "made this out of a scrap piece of 1x4 fir."

Turned out pretty well, I'm thinking!

15 Carp. Pennsylvania Slate, 36" Square. Two stage sandblast.

This is not the most elegant way to relaunch this blog, but at least it shows the beautiful, engaged work that Will has been caught up in over the winter.

Much beautiful new stonework - more, and better, pictures will follow.

Spring Stones

4/17/2013

Left: Granite, "Crenellation Coil, 2013 Spring Series (1)"
Right: Basalt, "Double Spiral, 2013 Spring Series (4)"

The note I got from Will: "Did four of these, all slightly different shapes, about the same time, once I got interested in the 'loop' motif.  The granite with ochre flecks [on left] is about 7" - 8" inches [one of three similarly sized stones, two not depicted here].   Basalt [on right], about 2.5" x 1 13/4".   Little fellow!"

The new stone blasting site he's been using has worked out well, and there's a backlog of images that I need to put up.

Happy Spring to all!

Reimann High Chair

The old saying "the shoe-maker's children run barefoot" doesn't always hold true--one of the delights of growing up in an artistic household is the fact that some of the furnishings and surroundings are unique, hand-made items that perform good service and enrich a home's comfort.

Whether it was carved rhinoceri, miniature toy dogs, a dollhouse with a beautiful cupola, or numerous household items, Will kept his family well-supplied when his children were young, and continues this work to this day.

Will originally constructed and carved this chair in 1963 for his first child; it has since been used by all his children and grandchildren. 

The tray had needed refurbishing for a number of years; Will recently completed this work over the summer and photographed the results.

Click here to see how beautifully the piece cleaned up.
