The Garden Gate

This is a drawing done by a local artist Jim Knoke's who actually built this garden gate out of iron leading to our front door.

The artist sketches are as beautiful as the gate he built.

I asked him if he could create the Kiwi leaves coming down the gate out of old rusty steel.

He hadn't done this type of project before,

but cherished the challenge.

I sent him pictures of actual Kiwi leaves and he made patterns of them to place on steel.

He made sure the edges of the leaves would be safe

with no cutting edges.

A one of a kind masterpiece of art.

It's a beautiful gate no matter what the season is.
