“Garden Path” – rescued and renamed!

Yesterday was a perfect day for working in the studio. Soft rain, a little fall chill in the air . . . I spent part of the day working on “Forest Path,” which I have to admit was one of my least favorite pieces from the project. I think I rescued it! Sometimes an otherwise…
