Ghost Camp is a 24 by 18 oil on canvas capturing a quiet winter evening beside a river in an aspen forest. Tall white aspen trunks stretch against deep shadows as three riders gather around a glowing campfire near the water’s edge. Their hobbled horses, covered in blankets and feeding, remain alert to the faint orange glows of Native apparitions shimmering across the icy river. This piece explores the subtle tension between the living and the unseen, inspired by my experiences winter camping with horses and the quiet mysteries of the night.
