The SycamoreTree


Leif's painting & my ink drawing of the enormous sycamore tree that grows on his street. So lovely to see it leafing out again!


Christian and dog Anders next to Leif's 5 trunk sycamore in the Stony Brook.


The sycamore bench in Christian's mudroom was made from a Hopewell tree and woodworker.



An enormous sycamore tree's branch creates an arch, entering Christian's drive.


Christian used a live edge sycamore branch on his refurbished vintage Weber grill.

Installing Garden Sculptures

Bill has installed many of his tree like sculptures at the Takaezu Studio now, all together.

He has also poured ridged foam bases for two most colorful Caryatid sculptures while attaching them to wooden bases.

Upside down to paint the wooden base which will get covered with surrounding mulch.
