A naturalist friend took me out to Montauk State Park in early March. It was a cold clear day and the ponds were still icy. Frozen clumps of snow blanketed the earth. I photographed as we went along. The natural beauty and solitude of the forested area was exhilarating. These image files sat untouched for three months before Ward asked if I had anything that might partner with his winter painting….so I revisited what I had taken that March day and worked for days to create Winter Woodland.
