See how much easier it is to see the sculpture now?
The dark color of the stone and the quiet forms of the sculpture needed a very quiet background in order to be seen. Pedestal top and shaft were painted a rusty brown.
(I'll probably paint a bit of faux rust patina on the pedestal to break up that expanse of solid color.)
The dual nature of the saw blade / halo makes me laugh. Always a good sound in the garden.

You have certainly shown just what a difference presentation can make to our appreciation of sculpture. Plinths and the whole balance of presentation can make you eager to engage with a piece rather than walk past. Your head sculpture looks renewed and envigorated. All best wishes for your Open Studios.
Thank you, Jennifer, it's a month away but looming over every thing I'm doing in the studio and the garden.
CLEAN IT UP! is my mantra these days.
