"Nose Creek"

Nose Creek / 5.5" x18" / acrylic on reclaimed wood

This is the piece I created in response to a call for work inspired by the watershed.  My husband re-built our deck and we've been wondering what to do with the old wood and scraps.  Because I've been thinking of working with recycled material for some time, I thought that this was a perfect opportunity and worked very well with the theme.  We used to live in a home that backed onto this creek...I really miss it, especially the hawks, herons, ducks, and occasional fox that roamed through the wild grasses.  I'm not sure how to hang this piece, though it does sit beautifully on a shelf I'm currently leaning towards a sawtooth hanger as it is a solid piece of wood and I'd like it to hang as flat as possible.  Any suggestions?

And on another note, though I really don't care for email forwards, I recently received this one which I'd like to share:

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us."
