Seeing the beauty through other's eyes...
Everywhere I go, I see beauty. It surrounds me and makes me smile on a daily basis. Often, while scrolling though Facebook, a photo will catch my eye. Someone, somewhere has found the beauty surrounding them and decided to share. I stare at the photo and I feel as if I am there. I am part of their world and looking at the place that captured a piece of their heart.
A friend of mine on Facebook posted this picture. I commented on it and asked if I could save it to my hard drive and perhaps paint it someday. Well, it happened quicker than I thought. About 2 1/2 weeks after seeing it, I had to create it. I have not been feeling well the past couple of days, I think I have a touch of the flu, but it didn't stop me from creating.
Here is the original photo, taken by Joe Kaltenbach. It just captures that beautiful moment of a morning sunrise in the crisp air. It was breath taking.
So when I sat down to paint, I just knew this would lift my spirits. Sure enough, I was instantly transported into his world. The beautiful morning, the warmth of the sun and the sweet, innocent deer peeking over the hill. I fell in love.
Here is my painting that I created from this photo. I hope in some way, I captured a small amount of the amazing beauty he witnessed and captured with his camera. Thank you Joe for the inspiration. It was heavenly to be a part of your world.
