Haida Design carving, Campbell River BC
Monday, September 30th, 2024
Haida Design Shoreline Carving, Campbell River BC, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. There are so many beautiful sculptures along the shore here, but no information online about this wood carving. Every summer Campbell River hosts a chainsaw carving competition, so I assume this is one of the pieces created during one of those events.
Foo Dogs

Foo Dogs, Zhejiang, China, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. These Chinese lion dogs or guardian lions, also known as shishi, are an integral part of Chinese art, architecture and folklore. Pairs are placed by the front doorway as symbols of harmony, protection and power, and in Feng Shui philosophy they represent yin and yang – male and female. The male holds a ball under its paw and the female holds a cub.
