While standing high on a mountain pass in Alaska, a large, swift cloud came in, engulfing everything in a misty blanket of white. The white cloud felt like the breath of the mountains, moving my hair in its breeze as it enveloped all things in sight. The air was charged with power and yet felt serene all at once. It was completely exhilarating! At that moment, I realized just how very small I am on this earth, yet deeply connected.
This is what inspires me: nature. Our beautiful, living, natural world.
What is that beautiful spark that feels alive in an outdoor breeze? If I could bottle it up for you, I would. I have captured it as best I can in splashes of paint and inspiration. When painting pet portraits, watercolor scenery, or whatever, I try to connect to this beautiful feeling. I hope it transpires into a painting full of serene calm often found in nature for you.
