I painted this piece when I was in Frontenac this last time, from the deck of the lodge we used as our studio. Halfway through the painting it started snowing - not big flakes but delicate tiny drops which created a barely perceptible shift in clarity. The light became diffused. There were frequent trips inside to sit by the fire and many cups of tea needed to complete this piece!
I currently work with oil paints and charcoal, and my work is influenced by the flora and fauna of my surroundings. I live west of Minneapolis on 120 acres that includes woods, wetlands, and 50 acres of native prairie.
In addition to painting I am also a riding instructor and trainer, focusing on Dressage.
