One of my favorite activities to do with friends is Skyline Drive in Shenandoah in the fall. We'd stop at various overlooks, take pictures and then end the day eating at a small town restaurant nearby. The views are always breathtaking, no matter the weather.

Other photos show the works in progress - I like to take photos several times while working on these pieces to check composition - it helps me make adjustments.

Most recent finish. This is the 3rd iteration of this photograph I took hiking in Shenandoah. I wanted to make it more abstract than the previous ones, so I used the gold version as a reference, and tried to look at it as little as possible

Took a relief woodcarving class with my dad in January (taught by @kevinkewing, thanks!), I think this piece is done? Definitely enjoying learning this craft.
