When my dad retired from work, he took up the craft of marquetry, which is "the art and craft of applying pieces of wood veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns, designs or pictures".
At that time it was quite easy to obtain kits to create pictures, and he spent many hours creating an array of different pictures. Mum has quite a few on display around her house, and we have quite a few too.
This is one we have on display in our lounge. I particularly like the sky effect in this. I don't know where the location is that this is based on, but it would be an attractive place to visit.
Great shot showing fabulous work. It`s an ols tradition, I know the old funiture made by this art. Fav.

A lovely piece of artwork with wood. Your dad must have been very good at selecting the right type of wood for each piece. When I was younger my main hobby was woodworking. Now all my tools are idle in the garage where I spent much of my time when not at work.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are all very much appreciated.
My dad spent many hours ceating these pictures, and they are now precious reminders of him. I wouldn't have the patience myself.
