T E A R S   O F   J O Y My Dad was a cartoonist; art books laid around the house and we drew funny faces as kids. Here I sculpted a happy face with my pick and shovel on a dirt canvas. The result is, "Tears of Joy." He has a couple boulders for ears and a little red smile and a palm tree hat to wear. Have you ever laughed so hard you cried tears of joy? Laughter is the best medicine! Built by Paul Nordmark. Planted by Dave Kanoti, the homeowner. Riverside, CA. My character is getting whiskery, fuzzy, and fluffy!
