more log work

ok, so the bark is definitely an issue with these logs. i've cut the end bit of bark off another section and completely just painted the primer straight over the bark on the third log. 

 here's the two logs with bark removed a few inches from the top

for this one i'm just going to paint over the whole log

the one thing that keeps surfacing in my mind with these logs, as i work with them, is that i feel they should be a component element in something more assembled. perhaps as just one part of a network of interrelated objects. as single objects they are, for me at least, just a little bit too totemic.

trying out some added elements

i'll just keep pursuing it and see where it ends up.
