Seeking Shelter

Seeking Shelter. Oil on canvas, 30 by 40 inches.

I have been playing around with this painting on and off for a few years. I was just playing around with it to see where I could go with this scenery.

It started off as a painting from a photo of a clearing up a hill in a bird sanctuary in Delaware. I do not remember the name of this place, but I like to call it Hawk Lookout Hill. This painting went through several changes including scrape-downs until it eventually evolved into a winter scene. On the wall and off the walls, and into storage and out of storage.

I felt it needed to tell a story, but I could not decide on one until now — an animal seeking shelter and human tracks leading to around the back of the shelter. The rest of the story is up to your imagination. Create your own reality.
