A Landscape Series

Below Mt Victoria, available
One of the things I loved about hunting was seeing so much of the countryside from my favorite transportation: the back of a horse. This summer Jack encouraged me to take up an idea that I've been batting about since we left Ohio, a series of paintings of some my favorite spots combined with excerpts of the email hunt reports and newsletter I used to do.

The emphasis on these will be the landscape, the hunt will be secondary. The idea is for the viewer to feel they are where I was, seeing my point, while whipping-in.

Also, it is interesting how the time between the conception of an idea and the execution can vary so widely. I think if the idea stays with you, the lapse of time can actually help.
