Art Today, Sand Tomorrow!

California resident Jim Denevan, is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none – that's because all of Jim's art is created on an unusual canvas – the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.

Denevan, who is also a well-regarded chef, discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was walking along the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12 feet long (3 meters 66 centimeters) fish. Since then, Jim has walked over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.

Over the years, his drawings have become bigger and more sophisticated, but the tools he uses haven't changed. All he needs is a stick, a garden rake and most importantly, his vivid imagination!

Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search for that perfect patch of sand.

His latest piece of work, which is also the world's largest freelance drawing, was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile circular marvel. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain, wash his paintings away. Jim's art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary called “Sandman” in 2005.

Jim Denevan is not only a sand artist – he is also a skillful chef. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners being treated to a gourmet meal and talks by local farmers and winemakers. The events, which are held on different farms throughout America, are so popular, that most are sold out the minute the schedule is announced.

1. Unfortunately nobody can have Jim's pictures at home.

2. Jim needs hard solid materials instead of a canvas for his drawings.

3. Jim's friends take pictures of his works to show them to people.

4. Jim has made more than half a thousand sand drawings that made him popular.

5. As his drawings are really big Jim needs assistants.

6. Jim thinks that the desert sand of Nevada is the best canvas for his works.

7. He is so talented that he was asked to make scenery for the film “Sandman”.

8. As a talented chef Jim is invited by famous restaurants.

Хотя текст описывает его рисунки как "более крупные", а его последнюю работу как "круговой шедевр длиной 3 мили", требующий "более 100 миль ходьбы", он упоминает его инструменты как "палку, садовые грабли и, что самое важное, его яркое воображение", не заявляя, что ему нужны помощники или что они у него есть.
