Spirit of the Trees Canvas Print

I love being outside when it's warm, feeling the sun or breeze on my face, smelling the flowers or the ocean depending on where I happen to be. However in the winter time, I am exactly the opposite, I hate being outside. I don't care for snow and choose to spend my time snuggled up indoors, preferably in my pyjamas.

It was being outside in the snow the other day which inspired this image. I was taking Lucy (my Saint Bernard) outside for her evening constitution and the wind was so biting I ducked under the branches of a big tree for shelter. I leaned against it's trunk while she was sniffing around looking for heaven know's what; and it reminded of how much I missed being immersed in and connected to nature.

Obviously I know what to do now when I need my nature fix.....but still, roll on Spring :).

Welcome to Endless Skys. I was born and raised in England but I emigrated to Canada over 30 years ago and currently reside in the London, Ontario region. In April 2013, I finally quit the corporate world to focus on my creative side and to learn more about myself through words and pictures. I honestly had no idea if I had a creative bone in my body, but I knew it was time for change. Since then I have simply let my life unfold, going with the flow of wherever my new journey is taking me...one day at a time. I am completely self-taught in all aspects of the art world, from learning to navigate my way around a camera, to the on-going pursuit of developing my skills with all kinds of digital software. I am a professional Digital Artist...
