Verdant Dell, Opus 242, 2002
Frame 38” high by 74” wide. Three glass panels, various sizes

Verdant Dell is a custom commission for a bronze-toned spa facility. The “Big Twig” frame was designed specifically to fit into the space and the frame color was also a custom request, slightly different from the usual copper-colored frames that Roger works with. It complements the rose-colored shadows of the trees perfectly.

 The weather looks nice from here…or is it?  Roger chose to keep his options open—it could be late summer or early fall, and it could be a lovely Pacific Northwest drizzle or the sun dappling the leaves.

As part of the “face down” process Roger uses to build his pieces, the risk is always there that something gets missed.  In this case?  A tree in one of the panels has a reversed shadow.  Can you find it?
