"Art is not always about pretty things.  It's about who we are, what happened to us, and how our lives are affected."  ~Elizabeth Broun
 
Do you or your family have a special place?  Somewhere so ingrained in memory, you can close your eyes & still smell the air, hear the sounds; it's visceral.  It's part of you.
Attempts were made to capture the magic held by a place so special to this family...stirring the memories of being near their piece of heaven on earth.  Having visited this honored place in my younger years, this was a commission I was very honored to complete.
