Wood as a tool for creativity is quite fascinating. There is so much one can do with a chunk of wood. I am a big fan of textures and seeing how a similar shape (for instance, of wood) can create very different feel in an art piece. I snapped these photos on Tangier Island, VA, a few months ago. The left photo tells a story of passing time and of harsh weather making its mark on the surface of these wood planks. The photo on the right is proper, clean, and well-maintained. It tells a story of somebody taking the time to paint it, to make it pretty. Which story are you drawn to?
