Description


This is really Garrison Lake, but scenes like this sometimes make me think of those inkblot tests. Just for a fleeting moment. More often, I envision the earth embracing the sky with a graceful symmetry, and in so doing it multiplies the beauty of the sunset exponentially.

“It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to... The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.” ~ Vincent van Gogh

Beyond Exquisite, Randall. I think Vincent was too modest in this quotation. #1414162
