Title or Location: Vermont
This piece came to me as I was dreaming of laying on the banks of a clear, beautiful river. I could hear the water, and I could feel the colors of the trees and the sky. The serene feeling this vision created in my soul made me feel driven to try to convey it in colorful paints. As I put down the final layer of color, I realized that I brought this vision to life.

Soft Pastel, 20?x14?, Canson Mi-TeintesThis piece grew from watching children at the water during two of our trips. What stayed with me was their quiet focus?how everything just seemed to fall away. I wanted the painting to hold that sense of absorbed attention and curiosity.
