We are all on our way somewhere. All things are on their way somewhere.

A special moment if you are lucky enough to witness.

I started this painting with no preconceived notion of what it would be, but like the mystery based in nature that it became. The title was inspired by Zen Master Alan Watt's book.

The Amazon region is a place of life filled with all kinds of colorful critters.

The Amazon rainforest is a striking and emotional place teeming with life, mystery, beauty, and danger.
