Order the Piece

Part of my "Imprinted in Wood" series. A friend wrote a series of poems and I loved her work so much it just seemed wrong to put them in cheap, plastic frames. The pieces have been so popular I was given permission to replicate the originals (paintings on wood, not prints) with her poems. If you buy this piece, you will receive a handmade remake of the original. You will see and approve both a pencil sketch and the finished painting before it's sent.

The poem:

there has rarely been
a woman more
a puzzle box
beneath my hands
as i find your heart to be.
you appear as solid
as soft, as passionate
as summer roses in warm rain
but deeper is a silence
a sorrow, a seething.
you are many things
but none are tame
none are easy
and all of them
belong to me.
