This is Gold Cord Lake in Alaska. I have never been there yet. Generally I only paint landscapes of places that I have been personally but this is a special place for my daughter in law. I painted it as present for her. She has been there several times, sometimes when she is struggling and sometimes as she is starting a new journey or phase of her life. Sitting on one of the big rocks by the lake is a place where she finds peace, joy and relief. I tried to capture the beauty and contrast between the struggles and the peace. I think I did an decent job. This one brings me peace too!
Place of Healing is Oils on Panel, 20x16. Here are the GPS coordinates 61.796519, -149.267786 if you are ever in that neck of the woods. If you look at it on Google maps it is all covered in snow (link). Enjoy!
