Changing Subject Matter Can Be Inspiring

I have been painting wildlife for most of the last year, it has been a growing and a learning experience. I have enjoyed it and will continue to paint the wild life of this great country. As I finished the series I was doing that included some baby raccoons, a bear and a couple of moose I decided to do something different.

So for over the last couple of weeks I have been working on something different. It has been enjoyable, and inspiring. When I posted them to a fine art website I have some of my work on they were both viewed by a number of people very shortly after posting them. I have noticed that the people viewing my art work has definitely gone up in the last year, but these ones jumped ahead of how those were being viewed.

This piece is "Prairie Flight".Canada Geese having rested in an old prairie farm have taken to flight over an old wagon. The geese can be found just about anywhere in Canada. The old family farm is not as plentiful any more, and just like this wagon, left in the field and forgotten. It is sad to see the farm, all the hard work it represents, how the family farm helped to build this country being set aside.

 A walk through the forest in the fall, seeing all the colours as the hang in the trees. When you walk the same path again, a few days, a week or so later you will find the "Forest Quilt" as the leaves have fallen covering the ground in a quilt of colour.

As I have said before Canada offers so much  beauty outside of the concrete jungle.

"Beyond the concrete jungles and paved roads is a wonderful world waiting to be discovered, looked upon in awe and loved. It gives us a place to escape to from the pressures of life to a place of freedom and inspiration." D.W.
