![Image shows cover of Willow Springs issue 89 which features an Alexis Trice painting called I’ve been told it could be worse." In the painting, a wolf stands in a burning field. The sky behind him is hazy with smoke. The wolf's eyes emit fire, and his mouth emits thick gray smoke. Title reads Willow Springs, prose, poetry, and interviews.](https://cdn.myportfolio.com/dfc7a43f-496c-41d3-a5b7-5e322e7df043/de8845e9-19eb-4f62-9e73-cf72fb574951_rw_1920.jpg?h=2fc3b5aa0a748c3f1d620a619b1e7756)
Above I expanded Alexis Trice’s painting “I’ve Been Told It Could Be Worse” and, for the mirrored version of the image on the back cover, I painted out the wolf.
