applies perfectly here doesn’t it? That’s one of the surprises of looking at someone’s art. We all apply our own interpretation which adds so much. Even after telling me the cattails were just beginning to shed their seeds I still see them as having finished. It’s pretty interesting to get an idea of what others see in our paintings. So much of what we do is a mystery even to ourselves. It really has a sublime feel to it. It feels like you’re experiencing it in a close and intimate way rather than merely looking at it. Though your blurb describes the difficulty of your trek.

You just never know where you’re going to encounter the sublime do you? I’m grateful you did though.
