This is a colored pencil painting done on Dura-lar matte surfaced polyester film using Prismacolor Verithin pencils. I was initally attracted to the beautiful fall colors, but the play of light and shadows and the open gate is what actually inspired me to attempt to express what I was thinking as I stood at the gate... beautiful rhymes, rhythms, and memories dwell here. Demensions are 8 X 10 inches. I hope you too can sense this peace.
