This painting began on location in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, where the rolling hills, winding stream, and filtered evening light captured the quiet character of the landscape. Rich greens, deep shadows, and a glowing sky create a sense of stillness and warmth among the trees.
The cabin was added to the finished piece as an invitation into the scene—a place of shelter tucked beside the water and surrounded by the forest. Its welcoming windows and garden bring a human presence to the landscape, suggesting a peaceful retreat where nature and home exist in close connection.
