MANHOLE COVER AND LEAF



MANHOLE COVER AND LEAF
Nancy Herman
6" x 8"
oil on canvas board

Looking for shadows is usually a matter of looking down.  There is a lot going on under our feet that we don't usually pay much attention to.  I find the various official "stoppers" in the street have plenty of visual interest.  Manhole covers are quite sculptural.  I have to see if they vary from one part of the country to another or even one part of the city to another, depending on when they were manufactured.  Stay tuned.

$125.00

I'm really enjoying this latest "manhole" series, Nancy.
Great and poetic contrasts; the fragile leaves being complimented by
the solidity of the covers and macadam.
