Boy on a Winter Road

Boy on a Winter Road (near Wolfville), o/p, 24" x 30", Steven Rhude

There is reason and purpose to always seeking something more about a place. Not just the factual qualities that come with a region and its history - although they're important too. But place through our friends and family, and how they can express something equally as deep through their moods and beliefs - their habits, experiences and superstitions.

This is the second portrait of a boy with a growing emphasis on his qualities of introspection that comes with being eleven years old, and living in rural Nova Scotia. Two more paintings of him with a pretext to the four seasons will complete the suite.
