Have just read through some of the recent posts and came across Bill Roberts` magnolia, which i thought was beautiful by the way,. I thought i would post these two pictures of a gate i made for a client a number of years ago. She had a beautiful magnolia tree next to an opening in her wall and wanted something to compliment the tree and give all year round colour. This isn`t apparent in this photo as the realistic colours i had originally painted them were painted over when i came to re photograph them.!! ( i will post another picture of a hanging bracket that has the orignal colour still on it.)
Anyway my main reason for posting this picture was to show the different approaches and working methods we metal artists have even when exploring the same subject matter. This is something i find absolutely facinating and would love to see a gallery which showcased this. Anyway my compliments to Bill on a lovely job.
Adrian.
