Nestled within the historic Hills & Dales MetroPark, Dogwood Pond offers a quiet retreat where winding paths, native plantings, and gentle water invite visitors to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons. The park itself traces its origins to the visionary landscape planning of the Olmsted Brothers, whose designs helped shape Oakwood's enduring natural character.
I was drawn to the soft reflections on the water and the peaceful rhythm of the trees, where every season brings a new palette of color and light. Painting places as they are remembered, I hope to preserve the warmth, beauty, and quiet sense of place that make them meaningful.
Original watercolor on archival paper. 5 × 7 inches.
