Sanctuary

This oil painting was created from a photo reference. The Photo was used as inspiration, and as the work progressed I used more  and more artistic license. The cabin, on the shores of this creek looks cozy and inviting. What a secluded spot to sit, on the porch, and listen to the stream and the birds. I was pleased that a few of the other artists who I paint with, stopped by and commented on the piece to say they would like to live there. I would too. I think that means that Sanctuary, is a good morning's work.
