Light in the Forest 11x14 60.00

The house in Light in the Forest reminds me of a house that was in the neighborhood in which I grew up. We kids pretended the old place was haunted and would dare each other to go in and investigate. A brave soul would often inaugurate a search only to run out in fear. I'm not sure why we were so afraid. We were basically stupid. Our fear of the unknown often frightens us and prevents our understanding on so many levels. My present-day  fears are probably just as ridiculous (in comparison) as the fear of the neighborhoods kids of the empty house. I thought this scene was mysterious, yet inviting.
