a slide show of my 3d artworks
If you wanted to see some of my other works I do 3d artwork as well...and here is a slideshow for you to view. All of these images are on my website as well.
Cooks Creek Manitoba
Cooks Creek manitoba is a short drive from Manitoba's capital city of Winnipeg.
Even though it is so close, a 46 minute drive - few people realize what is there. This is the immaculate conception church which also has a grotto. Isn't it beautiful?
it is a must see thats for sure. The church does resemble a castle. I am standing on top of the Grotto to get this view. This view is actually from the side...the front of the church has angels on either side..trumpeting to heaven.
the rest of the gallery can be seen here:
lets see if the slideshow works
Souris Manitoba
We stopped off in Souris manitoba for one night of camping and at least it wasn't raining. It was a beautiful night..and yes I crossed the bridge...twice..the first time not so fun because some kids were behind me swinging it on purpose. the photo shown here is the swinging bridge. I'm standing on another bridge looking at it.
Built in 1904, the Souris bridge is one of the best-known long-span 'catwalk style' swinging bridges in North America. Patrick reports the 582-foot total length spans over nine piers making ten separate spans. The longest clear span is 242 feet. Of course you're just walking over planks..so it gives you a different feeling especially right in the middle.
anyway the rest of the souris gallery is here:

Melville Saskatchewan
Melville is Saskatchewan's smallest city at around 4300 people or so. Located around 30 minutes from Yorkton Saskatchewan. This is the 2nd time that i've been to Melville. The first being in the summer of 2007. We weren't planning on going there but ended up there after it started raining at our campground. It was still raining off and on in Melville as well and I didn't get as many shots as I would've hoped. We spent one night there and left in the morning.
the rest of the photos from this set can be seen here
St Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church
in Yorkton Saskatchewan is a must see if you're ever there. the address is 155 Catherine Street. Few Yorkton citizens are aware that in their very own city exists one of the finest paintings of its kind in North America. The painting is in the dome of the St Mary's Ukrainian Catholic church. The painting covers the entire dome and has a curvature of over 62 feet and is 55 feet from the ground. Stephen Meush is the artist who painted this between september 1939 and May 1941. The curvature required that the central figures and the 157 angels and cherubs surrounding them, be painted in a distorted manner so that from the floor level they would appear to be on a flat plane. The main colors are the orange, indigo and dull red as seen by Meush in Saskatchewan sunsets. Gallons of the best artists paints were applied together with Meush's own inks which he was continually seeking to improve. The paints penetrate to a depth of one eighth of an inch to avoid injury should flakings of plaster fall away. the painting is further protected by many coats of varnish.
The paining is an original and represents the coronation of the Virgin Mary in heaven. The image stands out brightly and depicts God as "the Ancient of Days" (Daniel 7:9) blessing Mary. Jesus is depicted holding a crown over Mary's head and te Holy Spirti is portrayed in the shape of a flying dove. Surrounding the thrown of God are 157 Angels of different sizes. Below the feet of Mary, there is a sky-blue streamer with a yellow inscription beaing the words, "Hail, Virgin, Full of Grace, Queen of Heaven, Holy, Holy, HolyAlleluia! Below the streamer there is an open book which reads: "Mary Advocate, Protectress and Perpetual Help of Christians."
Around the dome are 8 life size angels. These were done with a spray gun and a patter for each of the six colors.
