Sculpture on the block

©2014 Barry Smith - Nature's installation in one of my pieces
Over the weekend Fiona and I moved the organ into place down between the Mango trees; and moved a bit of our 3D pieces around the block; or just cleared the area so one could now see them more clearly.

I took photos of the pieces at dawn today - soft light - a hint of darkness still.

Some of the pieces are shown below.

  1. Great collection!! The foil flowers have a relationship to the leaves that you just sold... love the multiples that seem to sway in the wind.

  6. VA, JM, J, C & LT - just as some folk say they are catching up on posts - so IO say I'm catching tip on published comments. Thank you for them - it is a very positive way of knowing that the posts are being shared with our art community. VA - you are right in your assessment of one of the inspirations for the bending leaves. This morning I saw that some of the foil handles had water in them. Small bird drinking bowls maybe. JM & C - thanks re the placement of the organ. I still have not had time to add to it yet. J - thanks - as you will experience one day it is a pretty restful place. LT - we know we are really fortunate - we don't take it fore granted as we know many folk don't have the abundance we have. But as I have said before - we are happy to share with visiting fellow artists. All - go well. B
