Between Field and forest

Every time I passed this spot (Old Baseline Rd and Heartlake Rd)on my way home from Headwaters Gallery, I’d think “Now that’s a painting”.  The soft, rolling hills and the quiet beauty of the countryside are always the best part of the drive. During my last landscape show “The Next 50 Years” people kept asking me if the paintings were from the area, and I realized I didn’t have one that captured Caledon/ Alton area.  Then one morning, after a heavy rainfall, the sky opened up with extraordinary light and cloud.  I pulled over to take a photos. I needed a new piece for the Fall Festival group show.  I couldn’t submit work that had just  shown.  That morning’s moment gave me exactly what I needed.

The opening night soiree is a blast.
