Description

Cedar Falls is my first Weathered Cedar Fence Picket mosaic, completed in January, 2015. It was born from an idea that came to me as I was replacing a Cedar fence at the home we had just purchased. The variations in the grain inspired me and the long time artist in me saw a whole new genre in the making. I have worked almost entirely with weathered cedar fence pickets as my medium ever since - although nowadays I also use artist's oils for color. In this piece the white wood was made white through a bleaching process occurring naturally from when the lawn sprinklers sprayed the fence repeatedly over a period of time. I did enhance the white with some white paint at the time of building the mosaic. And today I routinely bleach my wood with chlorine bleach for effect and also to make for more uniformity when I add color. Each individual piece of wood is hand cut and fit and glued in place. When I put in the "waterfall and creek" I decided to name the work "Cedar Falls" because the wood is cedar and there is a waterfall coming down out of the mountains.
