Mountainside Serenity

This picture was literally a quick sketch in the beginning from an amazing photo I found, but the more time I spent on it, the more I realized a unique feel and sense of place this location has. as the name of this work implies, it has a sense of peace and serenity that is nearly embracing, and that's what I loved most about it. It reminds me of those certain times in our lives where we are blessed with a set aside place or moment to breathe, to reflect, and to recognize the beauty around us. Sometimes those moments are brief and sometimes they are a whole season, but it is a place that is a treasure of rest when we need it most.
