For the sake of the past Painting

Walking down the trail in point pinole regional park headed towards San Pablo bay used to be a comfortable walk under giant eucalyptus trees. At one point you would encounter a shady pond whose guardian grove kept it sheltered enough to have water, even in the drought ridden summers of California. It was a small, simple, and quiet place and I would often sit there with my dogs for a bit before we headed back out into the harsh sun. This painting depicts the last time I saw our pond, for some reason the park decided the old trees were a fire danger and cut down all of the old growth trees including the huge guardian grove trees a long the path, they may have been hundreds of years old I am not sure but the dogs (great Dane and Labrador) and I could all fit comfortably on some of the stumps left behind. It was a sad day when we walked past the pond for the last time with no break from the harsh light. Without shelter the pond dried out very quickly and disappeared along with some of my favorite trees and a certain feeling one only feels walking among very old trees, I tried to express this feeling of tranquility and peace one last time. It was our favorite hike....we still go walking there ....but a different way now. This is a very sad story for me but fortunately I think the painting captured the good feelings and memories of the past...it's a good reminder to enjoy the small spaces of nature we have left while they are still there. Thank you for looking and for reading, (TLDR) then this was just a nice painting of a hike in point pinole that used to have a small pond you could visit. It was pretty. I use professional grade golden heavy body acrylics on all of my paintings which are painted on a premium quality bespoke canvas, which helps with ease of framing. I ship all of my work in a custom made crate, that I build myself, of high quality wood in which the paintings are french fitted with packing material to ensure no damage. On the back of the paintings is affixed your certificate of authenticity, which contains the title of the work,a registration number that corresponds with my records, and a short description of the painting. It is easily removed so it can be placed on the backing of a professionally made frame. I hope you enjoy my work, Thank you, M.McDermott
