Lost & Found is my first piece of 2024 where I was working on it before going over to my brothers for New Years Day Dinner. After dinner my niece Natalia climbed up on the bar chair where I was working on the piece. She wanted to color and I quickly cut this off the block and allowed her to paint a blank paper. On my way back home I filed this work into the block like a book. Once back home I realized that this piece was missing. So I call it my gift to the universe. I traded it a piece of my art for a piece of her art.
