Putting words to a feeling

I have attempted to write my artist statement again and again, never quite finding the words to explain what it means to me to look upon beauty.  There is beauty everywhere I look.  The sky is one of the most captivating parts of the landscapes in Montana.  They call my native home the Big Sky State since the sky seems vast and all encompassing.  The Montana sky is ever changing - directed by the weather, light, time of day, time of year.  Each demonstrating the love of my Creator's hand.  The sky is a constant reminder of God's love for me and that life is precious...love and life that are a true gift.  Just like the sky, life has moments that pass by as quickly as clouds blown across the sky by the wind and light that changes as rapidly as a breath rising and falling from my body.  Sometimes, I think about how if you truly look into someone's eyes you can see their soul, their heart's nature.  For me, looking at the sky is a bit like a glimpse into the eyes of my Father in heaven.  It reminds me that there is no end to His love or His willingness to forgive.  Join me in raising your eyes to the sky and taking time to soak in the beauty and gift of that moment in time.
