Did you know this piece of farmer lore?
If a wooly bear caterpillar has a larger black stripe in the fall, it will be a harsher winter.
And if a wooly bear has more brown, it'll be a milder winter.
This original abstract painting was inspired by the wooly bears that take over the farm in autumn. These small, fuzzy signs of the season carry an old kind of wisdom and with a dash nostalgia, from looking all over for them when I was a kid.
The Feeling It Brings to a Space
This piece brings contrast. Bold areas of black and charcoal against warm rust, copper, white, and soft gray. The movement feels organic and alive, almost like the natural patterns found in the caterpillars themselves, but expanded into something larger and more expressive.
