“Nature’s Gifts”  Oil on canvas 9″ x 12″

There’s a lovely preserve very close to where I live and has life would have it, I discovered a part of the preserve I had not explored before.  It was very exciting to walk among the trees and foliage knowing the lake was close at hand and to find a few small trails that led right down to the edge of the water.   I found a small spot with just enough room to set up my gear and capture this Autumn scene.  All I could hear were the sounds of nature as I spent a few delicious hours recording my experience on canvas.
