    I love the light here. Your work carries me back to warm evenings camping in northern B.C. You’ve left space for my imagination to wander.

    Thanks for remarking about this painting, all of you.
    After using mostly oil pastels for the past two years, the last 3 works were all about relearning to paint with Acrylics, and this one finds me settling back in more comfortably. Expect more paintings on canvas this year - trees, of course!
