This oil on canvas began before John moved from Ontario to British Columbia in 1990, and was the first to be completed and sold after relocating.

The sunlight on the leaves and on the water is what makes the scene was it is.

The painting shows the stream at Stony Brook Park in New York State. The scene speaks to what draws us to serenity and peace. This gives us a view of a place in which all is well.

This framed artwork, hung on a wall, is like a window that is open to a serene scene that exudes peace to the room. No doubt, this is something we need when we live in a world that can be hectic, fast paced, and full of demands that can take away the sense of peace.
