Elusive Landscape

We never know how many places of nature meet within the human body. Landscape is not all external, some has crept inside the soul. Human presence is infused with landscape.

Elusive Landscape was born from a desire to work with oil paint and cold wax and these particular colors. Working intuitively, this landscape eventually emerged. I have no conscious memory of such a place. Yet I know it exists. It is an inner landscape of my psyche or deep memory.

The creative process helps to release and reveal aspects of our inner life. In so doing, we are able see them and perhaps gain some new understanding. For me, this landscape speaks of the future, the place to where I am heading. What does it evoke for you?
