Who wouldn’t feel better dipping toes in a cool mountain stream during these hot summer days? These wolves seem to be happy doing just that in Mark Ray’s painting, “Cooling Off.” Mark helps you imagine the warmth of the bright sun and the coolness of the clear water on smooth rocks gliding around feet. You can almost hear the sound of flowing water and the natural sounds of birds and insects going about their business. One of this trio seems to be keeping careful watch, while one has closed eyes and a satisfied look on its face. The scene is so natural and peaceful you can easily imagine them trotting off to a shady spot for a nap once their thirst is quenched.
Mark has a wonderful eye for portraying nature in a captivating realistic style. You’ll see what we mean when you view his Featured Artist exhibit this month. Come in for a little cool comfort while Mark shares his vision of the great outdoors. As always, we love to simply enjoy art with you!
