A Highland Welcome, 2026

An original pyrography artwork burned on live-edge basswood by artist Erica Lytle.

A Highland Welcome captures the quiet presence and distinctive character of a Highland cow. Created with detailed line work and layered shading, the piece emphasizes the animal’s expressive features, sweeping horns, and textured coat. The rustic fence and distant countryside complement the natural grain and live edge of the basswood, allowing the wood itself to become part of the landscape.
