My idea was to show an army tank that had, after a time of non-use,
been overgrown with Flowers. Instead of a full tank, I decided to go
with a view of just a single track. I thought It would make the image
more interesting and still convey the idea. The title, of course, Refers
to both the flowers and the disused tank. I think which idea a person
sees more strongly in the piece goes to show an individuals perceptions
of "war and peace". This is only the 4th woodcut that I have completed,
so I cannot be too disappointed with The results. I look forward to
any comments and/or suggestions that anyone has. If Anyone in interested
in seeing the other woodcut prints that I have done (and other art),
