A walk in the woods has so much opportunity. For me its a chance ro rejuvinate and recharge my worn out batteries. It also gives me a chance to really think things through without the external distractions the world constantly bombards me with. I do my best thinking while hiking and many times come to a decision or choose a different path than i thought i was going to choose.
This painting was similar. I didnt plan on makeing a crossroads until i was painting one. I was thinking about a decision while painting and felt the need to express the choice. I never did decide which path to take.
