STUMP IMAGE I
original mixed media painting on paper
pricing upon request

I took a picture of a piece of driftwood that was washed up on Horn Island, a barrier island off the Mississippi gulf coast. Most people would see the stump as just a stump but being an artist, I looked deeper into at the stump and found these images of people and creatures living on the stump's surface. I painted them as they were actually seen on the stump without adding things. The colors are somewhat varied because the wood tones are varied and yet all these whimsical people look like they are straight out of a children's book. If I did write such a story it would have to be called the "Stump people of Horn Island"
