I painted this piece earlier this year after Mike and I took a vacation to snowboard and visit friends in Colorado. In my head, Colorado was nothing but mountains and rocks and snow, but in real life a lot of it is really beautiful prairie crosscrossed by fences and train tracks, and nothing but big huge sky from the horizon up. I scribbled down a poem and later used it for this piece, which is a little more rustic and organic than most of my other work. Lots of graphite, metal, rust, etc.
The original will be available later this week.
Also, thank you to everyone who started following me on

ReplyDeleteto be brave
perfect print for our home that we open up to inner city youth. i would love for them to read those words every day!
Love your work! :) Especially love the city of books print that I pinned. I bought one for my hubby's office, but I'll most likely get one for my high school English class at some point! http://pinterest.com/pin/372727450/

ReplyDeleteI LOVE your work, especially your "To Be Brave" piece. It makes me think about my kids ( who are about your age) and how brave you have to be to step out into this new world...
thanks for the opportunity- I want to send a copy to my dd in New Zealand!
