Walk in the green trees Print

This picture originally started as a painting of leaves half submerged in water and trees reflected on it. If you x rayed you would see this underneath. I was not satisfied with that one and so painted over this one. I love the greens in this scene taken from a photograph. 3 birds have flown away. The winding path leads us to ask what is round the corner. I really enjoyed painting the leaves, grass and flowers with thick paint. I was extremely pleased with this one. It's amazing how much personal enjoyment an artist can get- even if no one else sees or buys it. Oh if joy could be eternal! It can be! Imagine walking on bare feet on cool grass in a gentle refreshing summer breeze. I hold on to the hope of eternal pleasures offered to me in the gospel- walk in and grab this joy.
