100 PAINTINGS IN 100 DAYS #12


Title: The Pond at Magundy
Medium: Acrylic
Size 8x10
SOLD
I head down to YAAW today - Whitehorse looks like a winter wonderland!
Very pretty.
This pond is along our Lane and it is one of the most peaceful places on Earth.  It has many personalities and I could probably paint a hundred paintings of it alone  if I put my mind to it.Thoreau had his Walden pond and I have mine!
It seems appropriate to quote Thoreau now as he is one of my favourite visionaries:

"I have learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances
confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours"
