Burning Bush

I had this loose sketch lying about and decided to try bringing it into the 3D world. I used my usual custom compound with Styrofoam, cardboard, newsprint, plastic and button batteries. I added color with acrylic paints. I almost gave the top another 'flaming limb' but just wasn't happy with the look. Last night I awoke remembering a tree ornament given to me by friends a couple of Christmases ago. At it happens, it fit very nicely in the orifice designed for the eleventh flaming limb. I do not have it lit as I figured it wouldn't look very illuminated outside. It stands 28.25 inches tall and the base is 6 inches in circumference.. This is another Original Jones Art piece that, to be truthful, doesn't add a lot of illumination in an increasingly darkening world---in northwest Austin, Texas and elsewhere.
