Michael Lythgoe

Above: Egret and Wee Fishies
Below: CootBelow: Bewicks Swan

Michael Lythgoe has always loved birds, he trained as an engineer, but the purchase of an old wooden decoy at Cape Cod caused a complete career change and since 1986 he has become a master carver of these stunning decoys and sculptures. You can catch his work at The Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh until August 5th. http://www.mikelythgoe.com http://openeyegallery.co.uk

    I like these, particularly the first one, I have a thing about driftwood...
    I always admire anyone who is brave enough to change careers.

    Yes, me too it is a real challange to go against what has been writen for you in your teens and twenties and go with what you love, Luckily I have always loved art I just switch between method and media.
