At the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony a steep path leads to a patch of level ground overlooking a string of mountains beyond a valley with a stone spiral like a labyrinth. I returned to this spot almost every day and did two paintinggs of it (so far). Having a new spiritual symbol, another emotional landscape, is one of the gifts of my time at Dorland.
The green desert hills were another gift. They loomed up any time I turned around and will appear in my paintings long after I return home, a symbol of the journey.
I am excited about how going to residencies give me fresh inspiration and am eager to do more.
