“Dead Trees in Colorado” June 2016 |
This was painted during the preparation stages for my next world travel adventure. I reflected on greenery as a symbol of love (like the green heart chakra). While there were many things I loved about Colorado, I realized that the love would grow increasingly sparse in the distance, symbolized by the sparsity in the more distant mountain range. And despite being in a valley; the trees of my soul would dry out and die if I stayed there.” Working through this painting was a process of working through the attachments to Colorado (and the US).
