This pot, doesn't need to be planted, will look marvelous empty.

Perhaps the pot planting, below, is a 10" plastic pot sold as a hanging basket, with the hanger clipped off.

This pot is doing heavy lifting in the Garden Design realm. Did you notice already? More than merely a focal point for this photograph. This pot, above, is a focal point from more than a single direction.

The more axis a focal point has, the better the focal point.

See it, do it.

See it, do it? Easy? Requires that Johnny Cash bit, Meditate-on-it.

"Will it be fought over" "Axis, double axis, focal point." Last weekend I may have succeeded driving those points home with a 3rd time client. Of course, I wouldn't start sketching until we defined the functions and where the new steel door / trellis edge goes...and moving his outdoor table and chairs on-axis with his back door and future gate.
ReplyDeleteHe got it, and I sketched and we talked in the cool afternoon, alfresco.
