Into the Mist
Original 16 x 20” Oil on Canvas
A freezing, windy night spent camping broke into a surreal, misty morning. Hiking forward, the veils of fog parted to reveal stately trees and wildflower-filled meadows held in a stillness and hush unlike anything I had encountered before. “Into the Mist” represents that walk into the unknown, the quiet, indrawn breath preceding change.

From the ArtistYou can almost feel cool tendrils of fog wisping off the canvas of this painting. I remember a heavy hush to the forest that morning, as though speaking aloud would have broken a sacred silence. Moving along the trail, new layers of forest and meadow were slowly revealed. It felt intimate, exciting, as though I were completely alone in this beautiful, mist-drenched world. Trees towered overhead, monoliths of darkness in the haze, as these strange, feathery wildflowers were unveiled. It felt otherworldly, yet somehow so grounding: a chance to recenter and reconnect with your sense of self.
