Untitled

November 2009

In this piece I wanted to create a sense of awe in the viewer by painting a scene from memory. I visited this particular place in Virginia one winter and the moment I saw it I was overcome by a sensation I cannot even describe. The beauty of this place was like being hit in the face by train. Trying to explain this place to someone was near impossible. My goal was to show the viewer (instead of trying to say it) exactly what I remember from this place, and give them a tiny sample of how I experienced it.
