Now we view the Michaelmas Fairy from the willow sculptures right elevation, notice how the willow artist captured the instance of movement throughout the body of the willow sculpture that focuses the spectators speculation on flight.
When viewed form afar the spectators speculation of taking flight is further enhanced as in this photograph that infers the willow Fairy dashing through the Michaelmas Daises, trees and bushes at Picton Garden.
No collection of willow sculptor Victoria Westaways work is complete with out one of her signature sculptures from The Willow Reader series. Here Vik created a new Willow Reader for the Picton Garden Sculpture Exhibition seen sitting beneath a tree.
The Willow Reader series of willow sculptures has proved to be very popular leading to both sales of exhibited sculptures and private commissions. This one sold at the Picton Garden Sculpture Exhibition to a local art collector in Worcestershire and another was commissioned during the exhibition by a keen art collector in Derbyshire.
Here we see the Derbyshire willow sculpture commission of the Willow Reader sat with cat in Ashton Gardens, Chesterfield Derbyshire - makes for good reading.
