100 PAINTINGS IN 100 DAYS #76

"Magundy Valley looking to Atherton"
4"x4", acrylic
"The forces of nature are huge, and we are tiny, and in the mountains it's easier to remember this.... I live in, or rather below, the mountains for two basic reasons: because I think the mountains are one of the last huge and wild and magnificent things we have left in this country, one of the last few things we have not yet, in places, grasped and squeezed and sculpted into some unrecognizable, and diminished, shape - a landscape, therefore, in which possibility still exists."
- Rick Bass, Why I Came West
