INSPIRATION FOR THIS SERIES

These old growth stumps are scattered through the woods in my neighbourhood.  During the Covid pandemic months as we sheltered in place, my kids and I walked through the surrounding woods several times a day.   I began to picture these stumps in other colours, with personalities and moods, and to think of them as a symbol of hope for growth and regeneration.  Some of these spectacular nurse stumps and logs are around 800 years old.
