Sophia Podryhula Shaw

With any landscape, the painter allows oneself the opportunity to explore and experience natural habitat and it's surroundings.

Perhaps the emotional essence of nature takes over, resulting in an overall calm and fulfillment; a subconscious decision in selecting a particular location to paint.
