Sometimes something comes into your life at exactly the perfect moment and you just know it was meant to be. I saw the photo this painting is based on quite a while ago. It was taken by my high school chum and neighbor, Bonnie Calvert Narvid who now lives on a boat! Today it was the perfect painting for me to do. It has much more meaning to me. Painting can truly be therapeutic! Whenever I am painting from a photo I have to pick and choose what I will include, what I want to suggest, what I need to add that isn't there in the photo. The other challenge with a photo like this is that, the reality behind the photo is so spectacular it is hard to come close to the beauty with a panel, and some wet chemicals we call paint. There is the feeling of the air, the smells, the sounds and the emotions they invoke. That is what I tried to convey. I hope I came close. Thank you Bonnie.
