very cool find. nicely framed. when i saw the thumbnail, i thought it was some trippy 70s design. :)
Wesley Picotte replied

Thanks Ellie! Maybe I’ll turn this into a psychedelic t-shirt :)
Felicia Moore

Way cool, Wesley! It does look like some abstract piece. You should consider submitting this to the “Textures and Materials” group and perhaps the “Mysteries of the Common” group, too. What’s a nurse log?
Wesley Picotte replied

Thanks Felicia…I’ll look into those groups. A nurse log is formed when a tree falls and becomes the source for new growth. A young Douglas Fir was literally growing on top of one section of this log.
