Fugitive

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 2 November 2007 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

What's this? A fugitive from a couple of days ago, breaking into the peaceful month of November with a belated and Halloweenish "Boo!" or something like that?

No, actually it's a large glazed ceramic mask our VF daughter made once as an art project for school. Check it out, Rabbit. It's currently hanging on our wall in the family room.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.

Oh neat! She has a talent. :) It looks like something that could be from some old tribe.

@e.: Thanks e. She is a talented lass, for sure. Very happy you like this.

Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States

Cool mask! At first I thought it was made by some ancient tribe until I read your commentary! Cool!

@Craiger: Glad you like it; I know my daughter would say "thanks!" too.

Mandy from South Africa

hahha - very cool - your daughter is very talented!!! :) Great shot VF, the orange wall really brings out the detail in the mask

@Mandy: Thanks Mandy; she is a very talented young lady. This was high school. She's now a college grad and has a degree in art; she is trying to get on with the local public schools to teach elementary or middle school art. While she likes ceramics and pottery (among others), her favorite medium is... <drum roll> ta-taaaaa: photography.
Imagine that.
=o)

VF daughter is really talented! From some angle it actually looks like the Darth Vader from star wars,heh heh heh. And i love the colour of your wall! If i can repaint my house,i'll do that colour!:)

@tyan: Thank you tyan. We're proud of her accomplishments. I think you're right, it's a Darth Vader look, IMO too. But that wasn't her goal, so whether it was her inspiration or not, who knows? As for the color of the wall, my VF wife picked that out. It's called "mango tango" and we got it at Lowe's. It is a great color.

Shutterbug from Chennai, India

loverly orange! I've long wanted to paint my house this colour! :)

@Shutterbug: My wife loves the color.

Me 2 from Pixel City, United States

very cool View ..... she did an excellent job , had you not told us I would have thought this to be an authentic tribal mask from Africa .

2 Nov 2007 1:51pm

@Me 2: Thanks M2/Rob. Her mom and I really like this piece, too. But our daughter is pretty matter of fact about it and doesn't think it's all that good, can't understand why we want it hanging on our wall.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Well not surprised here I guess she inherited the 'artistic' gene, really WOW!

2 Nov 2007 1:58pm

@Lorraine: You're very kind. If you knew my daughter, you'd say somehow some of her artistry has managed to dust me with just a little bit of itself. She is amazingly creative and sees the world through eyes I never could.

Rabbit from Richmond, United States

So cool! I like this spooky looking mask - it looks like its talking (or maybe thats just me)

2 Nov 2007 3:25pm

@Rabbit: No Rabbit, but it went to the dentist and did not have an "A" day; hard to floss just one brown tooth.

Reza from Montreal, Canada

This is so cool!

2 Nov 2007 4:06pm

@Reza: Thanks; that our daughter made it gives it special appeal here at home.

Michael Rawluk from Canada

It is a very cool piece of art.

2 Nov 2007 4:17pm

@Michael Rawluk: So glad you think so. We like it.

Stunner from Kingston, Jamaica

Nice, I like the warm colour against the black!

2 Nov 2007 4:54pm

@Stunner: Good; glad it works well for you.

Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States

I like the starkness of the photo.

2 Nov 2007 5:38pm

@Ken McCoy: Yes, it has a stark but commanding presence on the particular wall it hangs upon.

Mingo from Sant Boi de Llobregat, Spain

Excelente captura, una gran fotografia. Saludos!

2 Nov 2007 7:11pm

@Mingo: Gracias, mi amigo; y saludos tambien!

Brian from West Lafayette, United States

Wonderful capture of a striking mask. I know where your daughter got that wonderful, artistic talent from!

2 Nov 2007 7:38pm

@Brian: Thanks, but she's such a versatile and creative, outside the box kind of artist. I don't hold a candle to her abilities.

M.E. from Encino, United States

cool mask! i love the warm colors and the angling of this shot!

2 Nov 2007 7:52pm

@M.E.: Thanks! Your words of commendation are most kind and appreciated.

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

I thought it was a tribal mask too! you have a very talented, and creative daughter Mr & Mrs VF :)
The mask looks great against that georgous orange wall ( orange is my favourite colour, even my cell phone is orange LOL :D )

2 Nov 2007 11:23pm

@MaryB: Merci beaucoup, MaryB. We're agree, she's a pretty talented young lady. This particular orange (called "mango tango") is my wife's favorite color in the entire house.
