My husband is a bowhunter and I made this to show at the Kansas Bowhunter Convention at the end of this month. I love walking in the woods, feeling the quiet and peace that envelopes me. My husband walks the woods for the same reason while he is looking for deer sign, turkeys, other wildlife, and building habitat for all the animals. He finds much joy and peace in being out there alone with the animals. And yes, he does hunt, for food and we have always made a distinction between hunting and killing in our house. My husband has told me many stories of sitting in his blind or tree stand and watching a deer come by, sometimes many deer come within range. But he so enjoys their beauty and peace and quiet, that often he will just sit and watch, observe, and soak in the beauty. I wanted to show this side of hunting so everyone will realize there is a difference between finding peace and those who only kill. I hope you enjoy this painting and find some peace within it.
