Wendy Whitson, oil and collage ‘Enter the Woods’

A dear friend and amazing artist left this world yesterday after a courageous battle with cancer. She will be missed by so many and today’s photo shoot is all about the autumn woods that she captured in hundreds of paintings. Rest, dear one.

‘Pillars of light’ as Mary Oliver wrote in her poetry. Devotion is so beautiful today.
