Flame Box Elder hollow form - “A Change of Seasons”

[JD1137]

Finished up this Box Elder hollow form.
Titled “A Change of Seasons” since I tried to transform the Ginkgo leaf from spring to fall colors.

About 5.5” tall and 4.5” wide. Wood burned, carved and acrylic painted. Finished off with water based poly.

Yes. It is extremely good. It has “visual balance” neither the wood, nor the shape or the details take the Center. They complement each other extremely well.

Museum quality!

Everything about this one flows together so nicely --- the shape, the colors, the layout of leaves... well done. Looks like a morning dawn or a sunset view through a ginko vine.

Thats a beauty! In order to get the raised leaves, I assume you lowered the background? It's hard to tell, which is a good thing!

Gorgeous

Fantastic! The background wood is like a sunset and the seasonal progression is very well done. Colors (wood and painting) are beautiful.

Any way you could turn an apple with limb and leaf outta this box elder? Only asking because that is what crossed my mind when I first scrolled across the picture.
