I've Climbed the Mountain, I've Crossed the River And I'm Almost There

It has been a very challenging year so far, which has greatly reduced the time I have had available to work on some of the new painting ideas that I have planed to complete this year.  Life can sometimes deal us cards we were not expecting and are not always happy to embrace.  This year the reality of aging parents has become my unexpected truth as I have had to watch the people I love the most going through some very difficult hardships.  They have been my obvious priority, however, recently I have been able to return to my next painting.  My new painting, Stunning Liberty Cap, is finally getting very close to completion and I am expecting to have it finished in the first half of June.
