A beautiful 3-dimensional nature study with a red dragonfly hovering above a branch bearing flowering pink-tinged apple blossom, tightly-closed buds and curling variegated green leaves. On the lower blossom a ant is making a meal of one of the petals. Set on one side is a cane with the words “SEEDS” and “FERTILE”. Script signed and dated on the side above the rim of the polished concave base: Paul J. Stankard 2000.
