Kitchen Dragonfly

This kitchen in rural Maine has many delightful features not least of which is the massive 6 ft. x 8 ft butcher block topped island which has been balanced by the light from the adjacent window equal in scale. I particularly enjoyed composing several carved elements one of which is pictured here before painting and installion above the sink window. It features the ubiquituos Maine fern and the dragonfly that every summer evening in that area swarms in dramatic acrobatic aerial chase for their mosquito dinner.
