Emerging-Light

During my 3 month trip to Peru last year, I visited many amazing places. Sometimes I had the chance to paint en plein air, and at other times I just had seconds to snap a photo from a moving car or train. The later was the case with this painting.

On my way from Cusco to Machu Picchu, as the sun was just beginning to touch the highest peaks of the Andes, I saw this scene, and it was right then I knew I had to paint it. Moments like this only exist for a few seconds, but I was delighted to capture it on canvas for posterity. 

Art can bring moments like this and enrich the environment where we live. And every painting has a story to tell.
