This painting is directly inspired by a particularly challenging and memorable point on the artist's walking trail in New Hampshire - a "really, really intense hill" where a waterfall creates a "super cold and dark" environment. The artwork powerfully evokes the physical and atmospheric sensation of this steep, cold, and private walk. As a deliberate design decision, the artist incorporated a small, striking bit of red to create contrast and effectively pull the eye through the composition. The concept is deeply evocative, with the artist feeling as though she is "right there" every time she views the piece, successfully conveying the steep, cold, and private essence of that specific mile of the loop.
