Chin Valley Clouds

$600.00

16 X 20 original acrylic painting on canvas

A late fall day on the summit of Mt. Mansfield’s chin, the wind whipping clouds across the slopes and some of them settling softly in the valley for a rest.  A light mist covering my jacket as the clouds pass through me. When the wind blows in a valley it is just a whisper of what the mountain is saying, but as I climb up its slope, I can start to hear its meaning.  When I am above the trees it often whips and licks around me, a playful and exhilarating feeling.  It sometimes feels as if it is blowing its life breath directly into me – a gift – given freely – I draw it in and then give it back. 

Ships framed with a natural wood floater frame in a generously padded box. If you are local to Vermont you may also opt for “pickup” upon checkout at the Emile Gruppe Gallery in Jericho, VT.
