Ever wondered where a painting begins? For me it starts with a kayak on a lake, or in this case, a walk through the woods. Being immersed in nature, surrounded by quiet peace, is always the inspiration. On this early morning walk, I was fascinated by all the many tracks weaving through the fresh snow as the woodland creatures went about their adventures. Sometimes—on a lucky day—I get a quick glimpse of the friend who blazed the trail.
This painting is called Good Company. It was a pleasure to paint and I like how it lights up the room with sunshine. I often wonder if a friend is hiding just around the corner...it just might be a deer. Ah, a tale for another painting…
