I have taken quite a fancy in how my 'sea-weed' Girly Steel sculptures complement the rust-orange color of our three staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina,) also known as velvet sumac. Had I known two months ago when we purchased these at Penrod Art Fair at the Indianapolis Museum of Art Gardens, that a big buck would again jump the cow fence and use the sumac on the right as a rub and midnight snack -- I would've bought more to act as a fence.
In the midst of the pain, suffering and ugliness in the world, let us seek and have gratitude for small blessings and beauty.
