The End of a Perfect Day

As much as I love lush gardens and quaint cottages, I also love the unspoiled grandeur of woods and wild places. Paintings like The End of a Perfect Day express my growing appreciation for the real beauty of naturę untamed.

This rustic stone cabin is nestled in a glorious setting - a secluded jewel of a lakę framed by distant mountains and warmed by the golden glow of sunset. Here, the night still belongs to the owls and coyotes whose lonesome voices will soon echo through the evening skies. The cabin is a safe haven, graced with human touches that mark it as a comfortable retreat; a rocking chair on the porch, fishing poles neatly stacked where they’ve been left after doing combat with rainbow trout. A fireplace warns the living room, illuminating the overstuffed chair and mounted ani-mal trophies glimpsed through open Windows.

I li admit it - even my paintings of nature s wild places often include the charming and comfortable signs of mans presence. Retreating to a lakeside hideaway after a day enjoying the tranquility of naturę is my ideał way to end a perfect day.
