~Planks: Wish~

Added to the site on September 5, 2008: A local coffee shop has an installation they've changed slightly each year. Basically you write on a little wooden shingle and they hang it from the ceiling. This year you're supposed to write something you wish you could do...

"Own and run a wildlife and small animal rescue and sanctuary!"

I seem simple to please- but I know what terribly hard work that would be and right now it's not possible. I'd need to own my own house and land first anyway. So, I can only wish at the moment. I did this with gouache. It was my first experiment with it; I just got a tiny pack of 12 colors from Dick Blick. (The plant-life black framing is acrylic) It is on slightly rough wood. I still need to add the text saying my wish though.
