Rouge Valley Forest Trail
Walking through a forest in winter is such a delight and stirs up our senses emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
On one hike I came to a shadowed pathway which seemed to guide me through the landscape. As I looked ahead, an open part of the woodland was immersed with light spot lighting two young white pines. What a visual treat!
To me, the fresh green color of the trees symbolized new hope and bright future.
I knew immediately I wanted to paint this dramatic scene and try to capture the dynamic interplay between warm and cool color and the dramatic narrative of the image.
