Into the Laurel

Piece description from the artist

This piece is inspired by a hike on a favorite path in Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia USA, where the mountain laurel draw you into a fairyland regardless of the season. There are always hidden treasures to be found if you look carefully, such as an Eastern Toad or turn over a rock or piece of wood to glimpse at an Eastern Red Spotted Newt.
