Crab apple blossoms along the Oconaluftee River, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina 1992<\/p><\/div>\n

During Sierra Art Trails this past weekend, we had three ladies walk into my living room display of prints. One of them looked at the first print by the door, a 30×40 inch print of this image, gasped, and then tears of emotion flowed from her\u00a0eyes she was so inspired by the print. We talked a bit, she asked about the print’s price, and we showed her a smaller print. After browsing a while, she and her friends left. The next day, she returned to buy the small print. She said she would hang it where she could see it everyday.<\/p>\n

Of course, I was deeply moved by this reaction. I have had a long and blessed career, but sometimes it seems like a never-ending marathon to keep business going. This weekend I was reminded that sharing the beauty I find is such an honor and privilege. My passion for “landscapes of the spirit<\/a>” lives on, inspired by the beauty around us everyday, and by when my imagery connects my experience to others.<\/p>\n

Captured with my 4×5 camera in 1992 using a 120mm film back.<\/p>\n

Enjoy and please share!<\/p>\n
