"In the Woods, but not Alone"
7 1/4 x 12 3/4 x 2 1/4

Even though I currently live in the city, I cherish any time I can get out into nature. I grew up across the street from a large expanse of woods and feel I spend most of my childhood there among the many birds and towering trees. I find the woods refreshing, centering and calming. I never then, and still to this day, felt totally alone in the woods.

This piece is decoupaged with paper from a publication of John Milton’s work in Latin. Collected on the banks of the Ohio River, the branches help provide the setting. The woodpeckers are from a humble collection of wooden birds I bought a couple of years ago at a flea market.
