This old face ...

Comb the beach on a beautiful day and find that piece of wood which speaks to you.  The face creates itself. A pleasure to paint as each is different. People start seeing their relatives in these old guys. 
           These range in size from about two to four inches ~ the knothole in most of the pictures is about an inch.

My first try at driftwood owls. 

These are about three inches in length.

Oh Canada ...

The flatter, no nose, pieces of driftwood have made terrific Canadian flags. People have bought these and sent them around the world.  I am particularly pleased that one Mum bought one for her son who is on Her Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) Charlottetown in Halifax. It really will go around the world!   
                   Flags measure between three and six inches. They are very light and therefore ship overseas easily.
                                                                       

   My flags are flying on most continents of our wonderful world ...
