In this Chisos Mountains moment, I felt a connection to the land, as if the mountains were sharing their wisdom with me. Each stroke of color in my miniature painting works to create an interplay of color and light. The composition invites you to step into the scene ( don't get too close to the edge!!). Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. The agave, with its striking blue-green leaves, stand proudly, a guardian of the desert, resilient and steadfast. Nature has a way of grounding us, doesn’t it? It’s easy to get lost in the chaos of life, but moments like these remind me to pause and appreciate the world around us. The Chisos Mountains, with their rugged charm, offer a high desert sanctuary. Now, take a deep breath and stand there a moment and feel the magic of this high space.
