  Please Rate Vote 5 ### Water Jet Cut Metal Sakura Tree Sculpture by Art Glass and Metal Studio

I was commissioned to create a sculpture of a **Japanese cherry tree (Sakura tree)** to hang in the courtyard of a beautiful Spanish home in the **Mission Hills** area of San Diego.

The sculpture is water jet cut from a sheet of steel based on a hand drawn design that I created. It is detailed in positive and negative shapes so that the design breaks out of the confines of the rectangular metal central piece. I then applied a **Japanese Brown Patina** to the metal to give it a wonderful brown two tone luster and color. The piece stands off of the wall by 3 inches to allow LED lights to “wash” the wall behind it.

To accentuate the piece even further, Iinstalled **RGBW LED lights** strategically positioned on the back side of the metal, and these can be remotely controlled to change colors from white, yellow, blue, green, aqua, or a combination of all. Although I predominately work in the medium of art glass, I have done many projects in metal such as this *“Sakura Metal Sculpture”*.
