About This Piece
“Spring Thaw” was inspired by the way the mist simplified the tree line – the texture of the grass and the somewhat abstract shapes of the snow patches. Beauty so simple. It made it a very calming scene during a lovely walk in the Halton Hills area.

Artist Statement
My mission as an artist is simple – I look for beauty wherever I can find it and portray that vision in a painting. If I have done well, I will once again experience what I felt in the original vision.
