Wood/Driftwood

Bartie in the yard.



Backyard horse, Palo Alto


Ocean Beach filled with art materials.


Wild wood in Golden Gate Park

The most I've 'made' with found wood is to haul it from park or beach and put the pieces in various spots around the garden as accents, if you will. I can't imagine the thought and creativity it must take to fashion a life-size horse out of various pieces of wood. -remarkable effort! I took a gander around the internet and I think the driftwood horse artist is called Deborah Butterfield.
