Foxtail Art Print

The title of this image came from those little things that get stuck in pet fur and around your socks when you walk around in fields (at least out here in western Colorado). They're called 'Foxtails' and they're annoying! However, they're also really pretty! As I was making this piece I noticed that it reminded me of a Foxtail, even though it doesn't really look like one. It just makes me think of them. Isn't that a large part of what art is?

Since then she has been thriving and going to college and living her life. I consider this such a privilege and i'm so happy I was a match for her. I have lived all over the country. I primarily grew up in Woodland...
