Gorgeous colors to wake to.... My tired eyes come to rest on that small smooth spot of teal in the water just outside of the treeline reflection. I imagine diving in there...feeling the shock of cold water and then floating, till my legs go numb...and I'm peaceful again.

By "chance", the only thing I had time for online this morning. And it was a perfect alignment for the day, thank you, Holly.

I keep coming back to this piece. It must be the third time I've clicked on your post! The mountains. I keep coming back to those mountains. They speak to me as if they were two large human bodies facing eachother with their heads bowed down curled inside the inner most part of the earth. The trees, the light, the water, the sunrise: their offspring. A family of wonder.

"human bodies facing each other with their heads bowed down curled inside the inner most part of the earth" These words are very meaningful and I am always amazed when an attentive viewer breathes into a painting, expanding and exhaling the work out into the world. Grateful to you Naomi @xn3art and everyone else for taking the time to look, listen and comment. Shell, interesting that you come to rest in that small teal spot, one of the last marks I made on the painting, must be the entrance point and you found it! :)
