I love this piece by @angelfiredesigns.bsky.social
"Ancient Tree", acrylic on canvas, 24 x 18 inches.

I have a great connection to dead trees. I would love to know their stories, their history. Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah.

Here is a recent mixed media painting I did.

I titled it after the first line of lyrics to a song from one of my favorite bands.

mixed media: acrylic, gouache, cut watercolor paper, velvet thread, stretched canvas.
