I ducked out of Plant-o-Rama yesterday after hearing Tony Advent’s presentation on worthy garden plants. I couldn’t stay inside in the dark auditorium watching slides and listening. I schmoozed with the exhibitors for a while, had a bite to eat and then OUTSIDE! There was a Dougherty stick construction to see and it was warm enough–35F degrees.
Constructed last summer, Dougherty’s work takes on a different and, in my mind, more soulful quality in the snow. The subtlety of color and the contrast of texture were very beautiful.

Simply stunning. Thank you for the post.
I’ve been a long time fan of Dougherty’s work. He’s got a great book out called Stickwork.–s

Someone else said elephants. I never would have seen it although the did look alive…–s
