A majestic black walnut tree. Its branches reaching for the sky. This is the story of Mother Peace. This woodcarving stands before you. A testament to nature’s beauty. A creation of Gary Keenan.
Mother Peace is part of the Tree Spirit collection. The artist finds inspiration within the wood itself. He carves what he sees in the piece of wood. Each piece is unique. Each tells its own story.
The black walnut logs come from a special place. They are pruned branches of a Michigan tree. This tree is over 110 years old. Imagine the stories this tree could tell. The variations in the wood’s tones. They add to Mother Peace’s character. The artist’s skill enhances nature’s gifts.
Mother Peace is self-standing. It measures 5 inches in diameter and 16.5 inches long. The artist finished it beautifully. Danish oil and paste wax add to its rich glow. It would grace any mantelpiece or bookshelf.
This carving isn’t just wood and oil. It’s a connection to a history. A story of growth resilience. It’s an embodiment of Mother Earth’s spirit. The artist saw this. He saw the spirit of Mother Peace in this ancient wood. He carved that spirit into existence.
Feel the weight of history. Feel the power of nature. Mother Peace is more than a woodcarving. It’s a piece of art. It’s a symbol of peace. It’s a piece of the old tree’s soul. It’s a gift from a Michigan tree. A gift shared with the world. Look at the details. Let the beauty inspire you. Mother Peace awaits your contemplation.
