After the success of Bits and Pieces, I thought I would make a similar one, but darker. I’m happy with the way it turned out. I wasn’t planning on the color scheme turning out like a Good & Plenty, but it definitely turned out that way!
A closer look…
My good friend Howard owns this piece I made. Sunset is made of reclaimed redwood from a fence in my neighborhood. After preparing the wood, I painted each strip individually, then glued them up. I’m really happy the way this turned out!
Another view:
In the shop:
I really enjoyed making this piece! I had boxes of scrap wood from other projects and I didn’t want to throw them away. It took me weeks to cut, paint and glue all of these together! A very bright piece, it really illuminates the room!
Another angle:
A before shot…
A while back I received a backdrop kit as a Christmas present and I was itching to put it to use! I knew my subject was going to be flowers, my favorite subject, but I was never satisfied with my shots. The flowers were beautiful, but the shots lacked any emotion. In post processing, I found if I removed the color, the shapes the flowers made became the focus. I liked the drama this created and so I made a series of them. I hope you enjoy!
