Gotten behind on projects, so this is the “latest” upload. The carving is in mahogany, from drawings of roses in a Berkerley (California) rose garden in the surrounding hills. I spent hours drawing the selected blooms (I'm not an artist) and finally (months later) created a composition that appealed to me. The blooms are of several varieties of roses, .. to those who care, .. get ov er it! I decided on 8 of 12 roses, because more would have been too “noisy” and too crowded. The final project is about 17” x 20”. The extension beyond the frame was a last minute decision which was an appropriate choice! The project required edge glueing two sections of a mahogany board I'd acquired. I presented the finished project to my fianc (eventually wife and mother of my son), who was present, and encouraged my drawing activities.
