I painting this on a group outing with the California Art Club.  There are times that I need to push through inertia even when I'm not feeling inspired to get started on a painting, and was one of those times.  The great thing about painting with friends is that it pushes me to paint subjects that I might no pick on my own - and I was happy with the result. 

This is from my 'moodscape' series where I'm after capturing one of those transcendent moments we experience in nature—fleeting instances of wonder that often prove elusive to photograph or to even recall in their full emotional impact. 

These 'moodcapes' are meant to bring some of nature’s vitality into our homes and daily lives. In a world where we spend so much time looking at screens, these paintings offer a different kind of window—one that might remind us of those moments when nature shows us its power to refresh our perspective and lift our spirits.
