Thank you so much for telling me! I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, and I hope you don't take that as disinterest.
I have often felt this painting is one of my soul. It is expression of love for my mother. This place exists, if you want to save up and go before it is not so pristine, I would - the place is Milford, New Zealand, and I am jealous of her trip too! I plan to go myself when I can scrounge up the crazy plane fare.
My mother and I share a spiritual bond in our love of nature and especially of hiking, and this was my gift to her because her roll of film that she took on the plane with her wasn't exposed, so when she got home - they were black. Instead of her having little to nothing of images to remember her trip, I painted this for her birthday to remind her of her Great Hike. I got it printed on 24"x36" canvas and she has it in her living room.
I think that's probably why it has stuck with you - I put everything I had into this painting, and while i find I look at it now and see where I could improve it, the spirit and soul of it is still ever apparent, and thus is one of my favorites.
I am so pleased you remember me and my work and that it has touched you and your hiker sensibilities! Thank you for telling me, it means a lot to me that you get something good out of it!

What a wonderful story and I'm absolutely certain now that that's why it's stuck with me! Your poor Mum, what a disappointment, but made up again with such an amazing gift.
It actually reminds me a lot of a few hikes I went on around the Strathspey area of Scotland. Near Loch Morlich when I was younger they did orienteering courses and they were some of the happiest days I've had. Scotland doesn't get much sun so we were so lucky to have cloudless skies for the whole weekend, and sitting eating our packed lunches after a 10km hike in the cool forest... When I saw this picture it instantly took me back there!
Although this seems altogether more magical, what incredible things could be hiding under that mossy canopy? Now knowing it's based in New Zealand makes it far more real, New Zealand really does have magic hiding in every fern and I really hope I'll get enough money to visit some day.
Thank you for sharing the story with me!

Thank you - many people say so, and it must be that I painted it for my mother, and therefore did my best.
