Autumn Day

Autumn Day, stained glass mosaic on board, 36" x 24", 2010   ~SOLD

I got the idea for this piece while hiking at Bear Mountain State Park. It was a crisp and bright day, everything was illuminated. We were a little short on time and couldn't linger around as long as we wanted to. While hurrying to make the last bus home to Brooklyn I got an idea. I created an imaginary character to mark the way back to this day.  She would build cairns through out the woods so that I could one day find my way back to this beautiful day, to this time of discovery and bliss. Before leaving the park, I found the perfect place (seen in the photos below) it had plenty of stones for my girl to mark the way.

I began working on this project in my studio in Brooklyn.
 

And I finished it on my porch in Vermont after moving closer to nature.
