This painting, Silver Trails, reflects the euphoria of the concert heard and seen in nature. Being outside in nature, whether it be taking a hike along a creekside path or a walk up into the gardens near our homes can leave us feeling refreshed and appreciative of life's smaller sounds and silences. This painting encompasses undiluted colors: silvered sounds of a creek or waterfall over speckles of rich brown rocks and soil, aqua sprays of a soft rain, rose reds and russet oranges of a spectacular sunset, rosegold blooms along the path, sunlit golden waves of the pacific ocean, and the silvered blue sounds of wind through trees.
