This is the under-drawing of the painting below.  By itself, I enjoy the drawing.

Less than a mile from where we stay in Rhode Island every year, there is a curious piece of property that has a maze of crisscrossing paths, seemingly leading nowhere.  Just through a small break in the bramble of ragosa rose that line the shore opens up into this network of trails.  Every year I return to discretely explore.  This year I did this painting of what I like to call the magic garden.
