beauty in the eye of the beholder
Through a work of premeditated brush strokes, we are left to assume what is not made explicit by the artist. In this way, no one experiences this piece in the same way and the artist has created a work of art that is ever changing and evolving. I could only hope to one day achieve this level of understanding between medium, light, and color.

Pt. 1
I rag on Southern California a lot but I've got to admit that one advantage is our accessibility to a slew of various natural environments. Driving a little bit out of a city of low gray structures, one can encounter little pockets of seemingly untouched trails that lead you into the cool depths of the valleys or the higher altitudes upon which you can gaze upon the breadth of the city from which you have just emerged. It's here where the low buzzing of traffic is drowned out by the quiet.
