Marcus,

The "secret place" theme that comes out so strongly in your painting was definitely in my mind when I was figuring out how to paint mine. My friend and I canoed up the mouth of this same brook when we were teenagers and hiked the whole way up the stream to its source in the mountains. The painting shows our daughters making the same journey. There's also the feeling of going from the sunlit, familiar lake into the dark woods, the unexplored territory.
