The vermillion clustered fruit is ripe and ready to pick. The pitted ground beneath the tree is tinted with blues and greens. A large olive shaped opening mid trunk appears to be the cozy home of a bird or squirrel of some sort.

Matthew Solomon was inspired by his great love of Nature. He had a particular fascination with the subtle changes in color and form that occur when fresh blossoms are placed in a vase slowly begin to fade while retaining their beauty.

Each piece is signed by the artist on its base. Only one of each hand formed object was created and no two exist. See less
