Dark shady woods.

Back in 60s we set off on a weekend jaunt to upper Wisconsin and came across a beautiful wooded area where the sun illuminated white birch trees.   That memory is still fresh so I thought Id try to capture it.   I doubt that my boys remember it.  They were pretty young.

I think they might remember the ride home when a huge gust of wind ripped the boat off carrier on top of the jeep sedan.   It was a sruggle to get it secured on top again under weather conditions. But we managed.   Farther along we got to the eye of the storm where it was so still.     Then it moved farther North as we were headed back to Illinois and we were again in high winds coming from a different angle.  The boat stayed put on this leg of our journey.

Anyhow thats the inspiration for this mixed media painting.   Combination of watercolor. Collage.  Acrllics.  Ink.
