YUKON SEASONS: RIGHT

YUKON SEASONS: RIGHT - PHASE 5

October 30, 2001

Winter has settled in for the season, with enough snow to keep the snowmobilers and cross-country skiers happy for the duration. While that might not seem news to some, we rarely get enough snow here to meet the needs of winter enthusiasts till February, and then the season is almost done. Or if the snow does come early, it is way too cold to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks to global warming or 'climate change' we are getting more snow with milder temperatures, making this area a winter paradise. But let that be 'our little secret'! :)

In this phase, I have worked the upper portion of the right antler, further refining the planes and shapes. The eye and mouth regions of the two bears have been left to a later phase. My decision to make the border portion blocky and square may not work on the tines, which seem to give the appearance of being cut off. I'll leave them for the moment and see how they look when the whole right side has been worked for the second time.

Till next time,

Shane
