Three Mile Magic

6"x12"
Encaustic, oil paint, and mixed media on cradled birch panel
 
Inspired by an experience gliding along the White Grass three Mile cross country ski trail, where snow-capped trees arch overhead, forming a magical tunnel of soft, glowing light. On this special day, the sun perfectly aligned to beam through the branches, illuminating the snowy path as we journeyed upward toward Bald Knob.
