I was imagining a place deep in the woods

The real story is this painting started with the title

With this piece it was my goal to make an abstract work that had more structure and symmetry

Many of the pages are deliberately left a little sparse

I had the pleasure of taking care of the farm on occasion and I grew fond of peacocks and learned a lot from being around them
