| "Montana Solitude" 6x6" oil on Gessobord SOLD |
"Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness." —Rumi
I painted this plein air piece on the first morning we arrived in Montana, from atop of the hill where my sister and brother-in-law's main house is perched. Gazing out across the property I noticed the isolated house off in the distance. It lay nestled in the lap of golden valley, surrounded by looming mountains, donned with a touch of lingering snow on the farthest peak. The house looked a bit vulnerable, as if it were about to be devoured and disappear into the foreboding shadowy background.
As the morning ended I realized, I was the one who had been swallowed up, up into the delightful solitude of the moment.
Painting is always my medium of choice to disappear into a day!
Thanks for viewing,
