Sculpture and shadows go hand in hand.  I always love how a shadow transforms the landscape.  Shadows prove the existence of an object in the land that surrounds it.

Got the first round of green on the trees. Now there are three!  Buttshark is even getting a fresh coat of paint to meet his new neighbors.  I'm excited to have a landscape growing.  It really encourages a dialogue between the lil' guys and their new space.  

The wood platforms will not be part of the final pieces.  Just a necessary stand for handling during the painting process.The finished height of the tallest one is 23".
