just need to share.

I am going to do some crit comments on those paintings below. I am so happy to see them up! and all in all feel like they are going in a fab direction. K- I think your technique is strong and I will of course elaborate later when I can have more time.

Something a little googling showed me today and I would like to share.

Seriously. We're not talking metaphor here.

This isn't the actual home of the saw -- that would just be crazy! I put it up on the counter for effect. The saw actually resides in the kitchen on a table near the window. Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to read the manual and get this baby functional! Until then, I'm keeping track of all the non-wood things people have suggested I cut with the saw: onions, sushi, apples, cucumbers.
