I’m working on several pieces for the Hello Art Holiday show at Union Station in Kansas City, December 2.  This is the beginning of a visual diary of the project.  I’ll be posting photos of the progress of the piece.

This is the blank of hardboard, with layout lines,
I’ll be working on.

This is the bottom of the piece.  It is elevated
about 1 1/2″ by three wooden balls.

Here, I’ve added pieces of shaped tree limbs
(semi-xyloglyphs) along the layout lines.

Here’s another view of the location of the
semi-xyloglyphs.

Final view of the layout.  The next step is adding
a base coat of paint on the front and back.
