New: “Poplar Grove”

A few miles from our house, on the outskirts of the old Colonial Village town center, an old shed sits above a tall berm created decades ago by the construction of the road it now overlooks. I see it often, almost entirely obscured by trees that have grown up the embankment…very easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. Having just cleared a good number of trees on my property, it’s amazing how removing a few opens things up, revealing your land in a different light (figuratively and literally). In this piece I also took a good number of trees down, leaving an equally good number standing…just enough expose the shed without too much disruption to the landscape. “Poplar Grove” 48 x 48
