Many years ago my husband and I visited a steak house in Halifax on a rainy
  Friday evening. I Reflected in the window were the many hanging pots of
  plants and faces of the diners.  Recently, I have been experimenting
 with plaster casting an carving, and tried to recreate one of those imagined
  faces. Like all of my small plaster pieces, this one is hanging upon a 12 *
   12Ó painted background which is intended to further reflect the idea.
