Making
For three upcoming exhibitions and the final panel of Cynthia's garden trellis installation, I've been making fruits and leaves.
Leaves and Buds for "Spring Cyclone. Leaves and small plums for Cynthia's trellis.
For a group exhibition at Elga Wimmer Gallery in New York in December, I will show two pedestal and three wall pieces. This group of pears is for a wall piece. I love the colors I am able to achieve for pears. I apply at least 10 layers of various colors to achieve my organic surfaces.
