I’ve painted this scene many times in many seasons. It’s a scene from Panola Park outside of Atlanta and has wonderful walking, running, and bike trails. There are also trails leading through the woods here where you can hear frogs mating in early spring or see hawks soaring above searching for prey. If you’re quiet you may even catch an occasional bunny munching her dinner alongside the trail.

The reference photo for this painting was taken after hiking on a cold fall day. We were facing the opposite direction watching the sun set over another large pond when I turned around and saw this perfect scene…that shining moment when the setting sun illuminates the trees and sets them all aglow.

Happy Weekend!

            We were coming back from a wonderful relaxing weekend at the beach and I knew it would be the last trip we’d be taking for many months. I was feeling a little sorry for myself, thinking of all of the work I was coming back to when I happened to look out the window just in time to see this beautiful sunset reflecting onto the water. It was the perfect solace, a kind of gift to store in my memory for months to come.

            Happy Weekend!
