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.
