Alpine Retreat

Description

Alpine Retreat is a vertical carving integrated into a naturally textured piece of cottonwood bark. The carving depicts two small, intricately detailed houses stacked vertically, each with distinct features such as pointed roofs, window openings with a lattice design, and shingled roof tiles. The top house has a tall, steep roof with sharp angles, while the lower house is slightly larger with a curved roof edge. The rough bark surrounding the houses contrasts with the smooth, precise carving, emphasizing the craftsmanship and bringing a rustic charm to the miniature architectural scene. The warm tones of the wood enhance the organic feel of the piece.
