Mount Lemmon Dawn

"Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are ‘patches of Godlight’ in the woods of our experience."

- C.S. Lewis

This painting is a composite of visits to Mt. Lemmon, a sky island above the Sonoran Desert. I’d like to think that the painting reflects the synergy of the physical and spiritual when it comes to land and sky.
