Moose Tracks | Original Painting

Please Note: This original painting has been discounted by $50 due to a small canvas puncture that occurred during the painting process. The area has been professionally repaired using archival PVA glue and is stable. The repair is subtle and does not affect the longevity or enjoyment of the artwork. Additional close-up photos are available upon request.

Sometimes, happiness is as simple as an ice cream cone on a warm summer afternoon.

About the Simple Joys Collection

Every painting in my Simple Joys collection is inspired by the quiet moments that often go unnoticed. A walk through the woods, tending a garden, reading beneath a tree, sharing a meal, riding a bike, or simply enjoying a favorite treat on a summer afternoon.

In a culture that's always encouraging us to hurry, these paintings are an invitation to slow down. My hope is that each one brings warmth, wonder, and a little more peace into your home while reminding you to rediscover the simple joys of everyday life.

Collect the Original

This is the original, hand-painted artwork created by Stephen Dorr using professional oil paints on canvas.

Every brushstroke, glaze, and layer of paint was applied by hand, making this a truly one-of-a-kind piece that can never be duplicated.

Unlike a reproduction, an original painting reveals subtle texture, depth, and color that shift beautifully as the light changes throughout the day. It's an experience that photographs simply can't fully capture.

Designed to be enjoyed for generations, this painting isn't simply something to decorate a wall. It's a piece of your family's story.

From My Studio to Your Home

Thank you for considering one of my original paintings.

Every piece in the Simple Joys collection begins with a simple question:

What if we slowed down long enough to notice the moments that really matter?

I painted Moose Tracks because some of my favorite memories aren't tied to major milestones. They're the simple moments that seem ordinary at the time but become unforgettable later. An ice cream cone on a summer afternoon. Time spent with family. A reason to laugh. I hope this painting reminds you to make room for those moments and savor them while they last.

It means more than you know that my artwork may become part of your home and your story.

Thank you for supporting independent art.
