Highbanks MetroPark

"Highbanks MetroPark" - acrylic on canvas - 24"x30"

Inspired of a 2023 fall hike at the Highbanks MetroPark in Lewis Center Ohio. Ironically, the light was so perfect that I missed a show opening in downtown Columbus... simply because I was so enamored by the light and the views. I must say, it was totally worth it!

I am drawn not only to the beauty within a scene, but am careful to include beckoning elements of light/shadow, repetition and depth. Scenes chosen revolve around a dance of light/shadow and its own sense of invitation to explore; pathways are common to include for this reason. Quiet, hidden, reflective/introspective....lush; these are things I look for. I am polarized by scenes that make me forget my troubles and I feel "enveloped", even if just for a moment.
