Winter storms left their mark with driftwood piling up on beaches and that presents a creative opportunity for one Pacific Grove artist.
CARMEL -- For Pacific Grove driftwood artist Duncan Murray, the wild winter storms have brought a unique silver lining to his craft."This one is close but no cigar," Murray said, holding up a piece of driftwood.
A redwood log is one of tens of thousands of driftwood pieces on the sand but, to Murray's trained eye, it has possibilities.Lugging the the log off the beach proved to be challenging. After hauling it out and loading it into his car he takes it to his home studio where the real artistic work begins.Some of the pieces already exhibit traces of their final forms; Others are revealed under the saw and sander.
This spring, his art is on display at the Coast Gallery in Big Sur. He regularly sells to art collectors, decorators and homeowners looking to fill a certain niche.At a time when many are still mopping up and digging out from the floods, Murray is reaping some of the wet winter's benefits.
