This painting recalls a 1987 car-camping trip in the Great Smoky Mountains, in a tree-scented, birdsong-filled, naturally beautiful setting, surrounded by a scary unknown that begins just over there in the woods.  Making s'mores as the twilight fades.

This painting is called "Carolyn's Cranes" after my cousin Carolyn, who thought the Florida sandhill cranes were "so beautiful", and who asked me to put them into a painting for her, to become a Christmas present to herself.  We shared many memories and revived some great family stories.  She loved to bring family together, and keep memories alive.
