Philadelphia’s Cobbs Creek Park is the subject a many of my paintings and drawings.  The Wissahickon Valley, Forbidden drive, Valley Green Inn and the numerous attractions along the Wissahickon Creek have long held a prominent part of my artist portfolio . It’s rich history and stunning natural beauty beckons me from time to time.

Hiking seems to be popular with the people that surround me lately.   One of my daughters enjoys “mud runs” and a couple of friends are on a quest to hike as many National Parks as they can.  With this in mind, I decided to create this drawing. The essence of hiking in one of my favorite places, the Wissahickon trail.

The model and the landscape are aggregates of people and places. I wanted the hiker to be semi anonymous to create the feeling of every female hiker, with a certain cautious determination about her. The background was created from memory mostly of the Wissahickon Trail. I am very proud of this drawing. 

The original pencil drawing was reproduced on acid free fine art paper.
