Woodland Fall - Massy's Wood 10x12" Oil on board
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”
John Muir (1838 – 1914), Scotland / USA
The first walk of the new year through Massy’s Wood, a recreation site, along the Dublin Mountain Trail. The ground was soft and the air was fresh. I photographed this scene with my mobile phone, did some quick sketches, then launched myself into the painting.
