Stairway to Heaven

Stairway to Heaven, Oil
Stairway to Heaven
I painted this scene using oils to capture the multitude of colors of the boulders along this gorge that cuts through Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio. The shadowed stairs are lit up by the suns beams piercing through the trees above. I used glazing in a few areas adding layers to achieve the depth and feeling I wanted. Families and hikers enjoy climbing these stairs to top where they can view the Silver Bridge below and discover many more large boulders and hidden caves along the trail.
