Mixed feelings about this one. When we arrived in the valley eight years ago the forest had not been touched since 1982. So green and cool. Then we had a huge storm a few years later that flattened the forest across the valley. A few months later the forestry crews arrived to clear the wreckage and log the remainder. Strangely I see another kind of beauty in the stark bones of the hillside. Eventually they will replant, and so the cycle goes.
I like this painting though. Oil on panel, 12x14 in. "Forestry in the Valley".
