“Mountain Pond”

This painting was inspired by my trip to the state of Utah. Life in the mountains is invigorating. The water in the lakes is pure and clean and cool. It is refreshing and peaceful there. This kind of life is quite different from city life with its vanities and associated problems. People should attend more to their emotional and spiritual health. I was thrilled to hear a story from a woman who purchased one of my enhanced giclees of this work. Her teenage daughter was going through some emotional issues, as do so many young people today. She observed that her daughter would go into the room where the painting was hung and spend long periods of time looking at it. The girl said she did so because it made her feel better. This is one of the greatest compliments I could ever receive. Speaking for myself, mountain ponds and similar places always make me feel better, too, and bring me a sense of peace.
