Windswept Driftwood Art

While others wandering a beach might see a mass of sun-bleached, jumbled driftwood, Jim Wright sees a regal haunting face.

Jim Wright's talent lies in his vision to see the face in a piece of driftwood even before he begins carving.

He also carves logs in-the-round, or 3 dimensional. Jim's passion is relief driftwood carving in found driftwood.

No two pieces are the same, so each of his pieces are a one-of-a-kind driftwood art masterpiece.

There's something wonderfully organic about driftwood that has been selected and then lovingly honed into a beautiful piece of art.

This unique driftwood art hut was assembled with driftwood collected along the shores of Lac Leman, aka Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The driftwood art hut is titled "le village des flottins", translation: Floating Village.

Lulled by the surf and wind, low and high,
Petrified Driftwood from distant times beckons me,
Reminiscent of sunny daydreams of days gone by,
Wishing to be caressed and honed lovingly.

In fact this would make a great rustic driftwood arbor!

Weathered and windswept driftwood reminds one of walks along a breezy shoreline, the wind swirling below an azure sky, being one with nature and ages gone by. Tina's driftwood is uniquely whimsical.

The clay is a two part epoxy that is adhered and blended into the surface of the wood to form faces and details.

Most of the wood is left in its natural state, allowing the shape and texture of the driftwood to guide the creation of each driftwood art sculpture. Some pieces are exquisitely painted and others are left unpainted, or a combination of both.

What I find particularly special about this set of driftwood horses, is that they seem alive .... you can feel the motion, the spirit and the joy. What a pure delight! Breathtaking.

This snapshot reminds me of a large oil painting, I almost bought, and regret to this day, I didn't. Surprisingly the picture was mostly grays and whites, with 5 horses charging across an open stream.

"Al Rollings discovered Lake Michigan driftwood as a natural medium for his creations. Al allows the driftwood to impressionistically suggest the body of the work as it morphs to a realistic head. His work is an impressionistic feast for the imagination.

Al's original interest in species of Michigan to the Florida flyway has expanded to include wild birds carved out of driftwood and driftwood fish from across North America." Source
