And yes, your place is so much a part of your work isn't it -you can hardly separate them geographically or sense-wise.

I am so influenced by place and it sounds as though you are, too. I can't imagine living in a hustle and bustle place anymore, but, when I did, I STILL made paintings about stillness and mystery, because I needed it even more and hung them around the apartment to create that somehow. <br /><br />And such a wonderful image of your mountain veiw.

I love the puddles of clouds that seem to pool in the valley at times too - this is more like a soft carpet of cloud. It is so peaceful and gentle - and quiet - I do love it so. And then it starts to lift and drifts upwards and across and if you open the windows at the front and the back, the clouds dance right thru your house!

My! What a heavenly place you live in. And yes, your work reflects that...especially the heavenly part.
