This felt great to paint! It was like taking a big calming breath in the middle of all the busy holiday hustle and bustle and the latest crazy Covid challenges. I was striving to capture a bit of that peace and quiet calmness that happens when you are in the forest with just the occasional snippet of birdsong in your ear and the wonderful smell of sun-warmed pine needles on every breath.
