Original artwork description:

"Fiddlesticks" - mixed media on reclaimed wood, 24" x 24" x .5". Ready to hang.

When I was very young in rural Minnesota, my mother sculpted large zoo animals in the back yard out of snow. There was nothing quite like riding a giraffe in the middle of winter to bring out the best in a group of neighborhood kids. "Fiddlesticks" wants everyone to have a giraffe in their yard...
