Alpha, Serratus, and Tantalus. Mesmerizing giants with jagged peaks and rumbling glaciers.
I started the first of these paintings (Tantalus) in the early days after my head injury when I could only dream of being in the mountains.
And dream I did.
Even following my brush strokes with my eye made me nauseous then , but I acclimatized quickly. Painting really helped soothe my soul during this time. We all need a purpose, we all need to feel growth. In this moment my growth and purpose were both small and monumental at the same time.
These paintings are special to me. And the place they depict equally so. It was both hard and exciting to let the originals go to a new home. But I could feel in my heart that they went to the right place 🩵🙂
