Katie Bar the Door, left; Tall Vine House, right. Found objects, wax medium and oil paint, by Tracie Thompson

These are 11.5 x 2.5" and 14 x 1.75", made primarily of discarded surveyor's stakes. Similar materials, similar colors, very different ideas (at least for me, while I was making them). Click to enlarge, and if you feel like it, I'd love to know what these bring to mind for you.
