Coastal Roots

I love working with wood as a substrate. This piece had some pretty heartwood and some natural inclusions that inspired the sunburst. I love the way it came together 🌞

I woodburned and painted this slice of Alder that I got from Astra Bay here in Comox. It's always fun experimenting with new wood. I like the texture that Alder wood offers my watercolour painting. I will have a very limited run of Alder creations for this upcoming summer market season. Stay tuned for more deets ✨

I love the shape of this piece of wood, it was so much fun to work with. She is currently untitled, drawn free-handed using pyrography, acrylics and watercolour on a piece of Birch wood and finished with a shiny epoxy coating to preserve the scene forever.
What should we call it?

The Aurora's glow in the dark on this piece.
Why?
Because they should.
