Through the Trees (FN2010)
This is the artist's interpretation of American Landscape. Painted landscape, thread sketched and thread painted.
What lies ahead? Imagine life's journey as a long walk in a green pasture. You feel the cool breeze against your cheeks and watch the rabbits hop among the tall, green grass. You run, and you fall, and you stand up and run again. In the distance is a dense forest of evergreens. You walk past the river and over the bridge as you approach the trees. Fear and doubt surface because you cannot see what is ahead. You hesitate and pause. With one foot in front of the other, you bravely march forward secure in the knowledge that your long walk to the forest has prepared you for your journey "Through the Trees."

Leave the noise and cares of a busy life and enter a place of peace and rest.
