"Looking Up"
My latest series of paintings I call "Looking Up” was inspired by a simple morning walk.
It was early. The summer air was still damp, with colors brighter and deeper than usual. As I looked up, the sun was just beginning to peek through the branches. I was suddenly overcome with immense gratitude on how life's treasures are always there for us, ready to inspire and renew our spirits... just by looking up!
"Looking Up" is a metaphor of many deeper meanings and positive emotions. I like to think a painting, while enhancing our interior design expressions, can also have a calming or exciting effect, inspiring us to look at nature and life differently, while encouraging us to see the best versions of ourselves and others.
