Day's End

   There is nothing quite like coming in after a cold day outdoors and building a fire in the fireplace. Nothing else warms us like a good fire. It takes off the day's chill and helps us relax as we thaw out.  We  have a fireplace, and one night as my husband Dave was starting the fire, I was struck by the beautiful glow of the firelight on him, the dog, the room. I took his picture and changed the background to that of a rustic cabin. I tried to paint a story of a man with his dog after a day outdoors. A fire in the fireplace, his best friend at his side... the perfect day's end.
