Oh, and to answer your question, the painting seems to capture life. everything on the page is existing on there own, but I can see, for instance, how the tree is relying on the ground below and the sky above, to stay alive.

Amber - Hey! Thanks for all your comments, they are very sweet and encouraging! Yeah, the pic felt good to paint. I liked mixing real feelings with a fantastical look.

I remember you painting this in TJ. There's a lot of feeling behind it. It's hard to say exactly what it means to me- there's fire in the sk, yet a familiarity to it all, a sense of movement, like the wind, and healing. And I love what you do w/ colors.

I FREAKING LOVE THAT PAINTING!
i so wish i could paint like that. luckyyy......
there seems to be a sense of mending, healing. and then that tree just seems so solid and substancial, but yet still relying on the ground below and the light from the sky above. wow....
