I want to share this sketch on another painting in the Simple Series. Its an apropos balance to my last entry.
On my trip I’ve often felt this way– soaring joy at the dazzling beauty around me.
The feeling of this picture captures two things: One, intense grattitude for every detail and beautiful blessing of the moment around me. Second, personal satisfaction at having brought myself to the mountain top moment through my intentions, choices, perseverance and determination.
The exultant man on the mountaintop is raises his arms to the deep blue sky. In the valley below, as in his soul, echoe “Thank You” and “Yeaaaahh baby!” at the same time.
