I was inspired the spring forest: the colors, the mood, the warm air full of the pitch smell.
What I saw in the forest when the snow has thawed, there was a lot of stumps, the branches, sticks, the snags and all this has taken my attention. I was drawing and drawing them. And then in my studio I have taken the cardboard, the scissors, the etching ink and voila!
