I had already made a similar study in Pastels\u00a0 (Wetlands) but I knew there was more that I needed to get out of that experience.\u00a0 I finally came to the conclusion that instead of going back to my photographic archives as reference I wanted to go back to my feelings archive: The movement, the combination or elements, the smells, sounds, sun light, wind and the tree that I was sitting under while I did this study.\u00a0 Instead of continuing with my acrylic approach, I decided to make it into a Mixed Media. I knew the palette I wanted to use and started to add Pastels that later would be mixed and adhered with medium. Everything was coming along yet there were 2 elements that were missing: The Mountains that I couldn\u2019t see, because according to my visual archive they were to the left of my view and the tree that kept me protected from the sun\u2026 so, I added them. I used parts of the phone book I just received and continued the application of Pastels, Acrylics and Ink for the final touches. My husband came up with the title, which I loved. This time it was finished\u2026<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-3IxxgBR51lU\/VP4KZ36onmI\/AAAAAAAAANs\/UPWGV_m4e_c\/s1600\/15-01MountainView.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"156\" border=\"0\" \/>Through this process I was reminded that our senses, as amazing as they are, don\u2019t give us the \u201cfull\u201d experience. The things that matter the most to us are the ones that sometimes our visual mind could even fight because they are not in the view; yet, without the things that protect us and give us a sense of security and peace we only have a partial view.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">May you always have the full perspective of everything you experience in life and know that life is much more than this.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mountains, no matter how many times I drive by or see them, they always remind me of the sense of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[119,78],"class_list":["post-3268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-members-feed","tag-osi-cruz-lahtinen","tag-painting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
