This  painting came about as I impulsively pulled into a preserve that I had never seen before. I had just come from an artists' meeting so was not dressed for hiking. No hiking shoes. No insect repellent. To top it off, rain was threatening.

I was only going to peek in but found myself intrigued by the mysterious light filtering down into dark places. I had to force myself to stay on the trail. So many beautiful spots beckoned. This was one of them.
