This took 5 minutes. But no it did not. It took 3 weeks. 3 weeks of thinking of the shapes within the shapes; the client setting; what I will like; the textures I want; the mood I want to create. What follows is a week of second guessing, peeking at it again, and revising. (This photo is a week old. Rev 3 is current.) We forget about the importance of time in the creative process. Think time. Roll around in it time, as my friend Will taught me. Creative cloud gazing time.

All houseplants are wonderful, but some are sentimental.
