Inspired by the majestic skies over a small Spanish island in the Atlantic Ocean, a place of space and open skies. I traveled there feeling closed in and not just a little trapped. Sometimes beauty can only be found in a place where not another living soul stands with you to gaze upon it. Where the cliffs are jewel-like smoky brown, tumbling down to the red golden beach and water that crashes. Where I become small, so very small, and I scream into the wind and lie back on the sand, no one to behold me except the birds.

I am free.

I am free.

I am free.

A sweeping, moving, dramatic symphony that will never be the same painting twice. An expressionist moment. A song that blows like a feather in the wind.

The sky is a living thing!

As of the time of this writing, "Spanish skies" is available in my Colorado Studio.
