I was inspired to paint Larose Forest while cross country skiing. Larose Forest is located about a twenty minute drive from my house yet I had never been there in sixteen years of living here until last year (2007) fall when we went for a walk with a bunch of friends. I ended up walking there three times in the fall and skiing there three or four times during the winter. I guess you could say it was one of those hidden gems waiting to be discovered. What inspired me to paint this picture was the fact that I was surrounded by all the snow and evergreen trees when I suddenly came upon a tree with leaves still clinging tenaciously to its branches.
