Vanilla Kiss Doreen PalmeSalt Spring Island, BC Size 34" x 10" x 8" Medium Driftwood and concrete base Gems, for sure, are delivered by nature. In this case, it was a very unimpressive-looking piece of driftwood from our beach. The eye of the artist detected the hidden potential. After different approaches to get into contact with the raw material, a beautifully sculptured piece emerged, preserving the square natural shape. While the yellow color and the fine black structures resemble the ‘vanilla,’ the smoothly rounded red structure of the base gives the ‘kiss’ to it.
