“Resting Place” is set along a quiet pool near Hideout Hollow in the Arkansas Ozarks, where still water mirrors the tangle of trees standing guard around it. A large stone rests at the water’s edge like an anchor, marking the spot with a sense of permanence. The reflections of trunks and branches ripple softly, breaking the boundary between earth and sky. Sunlight filters through, catching on the surface and drawing the eye into the calm center of the scene.
This work carries the feeling of a pause in the wilderness, a place where time stretches and movement slows. It suggests not only the literal rest of the land and water but also the invitation for the viewer to linger. Like many hidden corners of the Ozarks, this is a place that hums with quiet life, content in its stillness.
