Winter Birthday

I spent my 51st birthday in the rainy snow near Mt. Hood yesterday, snowshoeing for the very first time. As always, being outside is my happiest place but sometimes I get buried in work and forget to go out and play, especially around the holidays. But being outside is how I get grounded, get focused and truly where I find my inspiration. There wasn’t enough snow for a wholly white birthday but the piece below is dreamt from landscapes like these :)

Rainier Forest, all in white- one of my all time favorite pieces, it is elegant and quiet and what makes me happiest about being outside.
