Greetings from Colchuck Lake ! So excited to finally get to paint this incredible gem God planted here in the Northwest! One of my favorite steps in creating landscapes is removing the mask layer to reveal the lines planned before. It feels almost magical to see what is hidden beneath reappear. I wonder if that is how God feels when we start to realize what He has created us for? What does He feel when we begin to step in the direction of His dreams and good plans He has for us? Hidden beneath the surface, waiting for us to discover.....or simply ask

This painting is from the Northwest series done in mixed media, which were created as a type of ‘living prayer’ for the places around the valley I grew up in, as well as other Northwest destinations that have had special meaning and are close to my heart. Mountains have always fascinated me with the strength and beauty they represent and inspire me to create. I hope this series creates a connection for you with the peace and beauty of this part of the Northwest I call home.
