I enjoy being outside exploring new places, but have always been the type to stay on the ground observing everything around me. I always admire those out in nature who are cycling or, like this man, rock climbing to get to the highest peak.
Although I may not partake of this athletic endeavor, I do love to celebrate it. In "Moving Up" I capture the strength and agility of the climber and the ruggle cliff that provide places for him to gain perch.

This painting was included in North Light Publications Best of Acrylic book, AcrylicWorks3: Celebrating Textures.
A gallery wrapped, where the painting extends around the edge. No frame required.
