Most mornings I am blessed to drive out to the valley at sunrise. I am humbled by mother earth, our mountains, seas, and fields. This painting was inspired by the beauty of nature that we are blessed to dwell within. A tiny speck on a huge horizon or vista, we can do so much to make it a better world by being present to this vast landscape. Constantly, I am humbled and bow my head in gratitude for the fields I have worked, the earth that has taken care of me and the heavens that watch over me. Nature opens my heart with every breath I take and with every place my eyes rest.
