Wood is an excellent medium for sculpture, but trees can be subjects for paintings, and their flowers, pressed and preserved, can be part of mixed media works. The possibilities, especially in the inspiring season of spring, are endless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In many peoples\u2019 minds, art is synonymous with paintings.
