gouache, acrylic, graphite on birch wood panel

After a refreshing hike through the forest wilderness, we came to a clearing abuzz with people soaking in the view. I stepped near the edge and absorbed the mountains protecting the valley below. The Sentinels only allowed sunbeams to burst through their barrier and diffuse into the blue shadows in the brush below.
