Description
On a soft spring morning, gentle sunlight highlights four wooden adirondack chairs arranged on green lawns. Surrounded by a tall trees and colorful wildflowers, the views of the distant hills beneath clear blue skies create a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Spring comes a little later at the higher elevations. On top of Blue Knob Mountain at 3,000 feet in the Laurel Highlands, we generally don't start seeing greens until late April and into May. Once established, the surprise of the many varieties of wildflowers is always a joy ... and the pinks and yellows that punctuate the greens are a delight to the buzzing, buggy world as well.
Several years ago I spied a scarlet tanager in just this spot. I've never seen one before or since ... they don't frequent my backyard feeders at home, but on that day I had my camera and the 150-500mm Sigma lens with me and shoot that pretty birdie I did! But the distance was still too great, so even with the big lens, my captures were only useful for personal memories of the moment. To honor the birdie, I painted two of the little guys into this scene, as an homage to what Mother Nature has up her sleeves, if we're only in the right place at the right time to see. And hopefully have our camera handy, too!
Loosely based on my own photo and digitally hand painted in Corel Painter 2023 using the Wacom tablet and art pen stylus. No artificial intelligence programs used. Fine art as well as product purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... your wall art will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
This image is a springtime version of another of my images, "Enjoying The View." It is a fall scene and also available here at:
