How to escape the everyday? It might look something like this – a day I set “work” aside, borrowed a kayak, found myself a quiet, puddle of a lake and spent an afternoon paddling along the shore. It felt altogether indulgent and yet essential to both work (oh! the inspiration here!) and life. This is a scene that instils such peace, stress floating away like the ripples of water lapping along the shore. Work can wait, nature calls.
One of the acrylic landscape paintings in the “Down to Earth” collection of original paintings and prints, ‘Lake of the Woods’ uses soft strokes and gentle colours to create a soothing visual effect, reflecting the calmness and tranquillity of the scene. The painting invites you to join me in this escape, from the perspective of someone who has found a way to relax and recharge. Imagine yourself in this kayak, feeling the water on your hands, hearing the birds in the trees, and enjoying the view.
