Transfiguration

Dedicated to my artist friend Frank Schirman who was a wood carver in the 60's. He had a little shop in the International Market Place in Waikiki where he sold beautiful wood carvings

Transfiguration
 
I have a special friend
An artist known to starve
He loves to work with wood
Just see what he can carve
 
I found a piece of flotsam
That just drifted up to me
Didn’t think it had much flair
Wondered what he would see
 
He turned it from side to side
Then stood it on its head
I wondered where the twinkle
In his minds eye had led
 
Took out his carving tools
Started to chip away
I watched for many hours
Sure this would take all day
 
That night to my sheer delight
He gave me his creation
Could not believe my eyes
Amazing transfiguration

(2013)

Wish I could post a photo of the carving.
