Thanks for the view on the mountains and the river. I started to draw it in the studio but ran out steam when I hit all the little blocks along the bridge. I would like to capture them too. I hope you are having a good day that side.

I like the glass-like reflective quality you were able to achieve wet-in-wet. It's almost like the hills are hugging the cross, Stephen, and I like that touch. The quote fits your story perfectly.

The blue/violet/grey color is so beautiful next to the clear blue sky. I am amazed by the mountains in this image. The blue/violet/grey color is so beautiful next to the clear blue sky.
