When I broke my leg two years ago, I had to walk carefully, especially outside. I had to look down at the sidewalk, and there were a host of fascinating little twigs and bits of this and that. I started picking them up. Next thing I knew, they were starting to appear in my work.
These are the beginning of order and I hope aesthetic appeal to some of these little bits and pieces from the road. A first layout that is not glued.

This second one is closer to completion. This is 12 by 12 inches on masonite, starting with a white ground, to which the twigs are glued with encaustic medium, and the encaustic medium does allow the introduction of colour, which is still to be applied.
The twigs have become a graphic element.
