Cave Point Winter

Growing up, Sarah Jane Keiser explored a life outdoors. The unique landscape where she was raised – the stark shift from glacial flattened land to moraine hills and valleys – filled her outdoor escapades, and in turn, her imagination. As a child, Keiser would lay in the grass and watch adventures of ants, then roll on her back and see rabbits and whales in the clouds. She would peer over a boat into a deep lake, and see a marvelous blue-green-black punctuated by the silver of a bluegill fish. Later, Keiser's medical career sophisticated my observational skills, yet she continued to seek respite outside. Her intent with oil painting is to encourage curiosity, and inspire joy and appreciation for our natural world.  This painting of a wintery scene at Cave Point captures the year-round beauty of the park. A quote from the artist:  "Painted after the last now of the year.  Shortly after this the ice melted." Dimensions: 17" x 17"
