. . .found texture inspiration

in this tree stump in my mother's back yard. Kind of cool, isn't it? Reminds me a lot of a painting I saw at the gallery this weekend. It was heavily textured like this, three wide bands in varying degrees of light and dark, with a digital black and white photograph of a leafless tree silhouetted against the sky in the center of one of the bands. The photograph was actually on a separate piece of board or canvas that was affixed on top of the substrate in some mysterious manner. Once again, I can't remember who the artist is. . . I must do a better job of attribution.
