"Doorway to the Mountain"
Venturing for a wild camping escapade with my husband, seeking solace from the summer's scorching heat, I stumbled upon a captivating facet of the French Alps. In summer, these mountains shed their verdant attire, revealing a rugged, untamed beauty. This painting breathes life from that awe-inspiring landscape.
 
Inspired by the verses of a poignant poem, "I Know a Vale," this artwork finds resonance with a hidden vale nestled amidst the embracing hills—a serene refuge waiting to be discovered. It's a portrayal of that cool and shaded gateway, an invitation to delve deeper into the heart of the mountains. A testament to the majestic allure and tranquil splendor that adorns these picturesque landscapes.
 
"I Know a vale where I would go one day,
When June comes back and
all the world once more Is glad with summer.
Deep in shade it lies
A mighty cleft between the bosoming hills,
A cool dim gateway to the mountains' heart."
