To Me, The Mountain Speaks was created from a place of honesty and faith. I began with the weight of the mountain, letting it reflect the hurdles I’ve faced. As I painted, the light behind the peak slowly pushed through. The river became the steady path forward, shaped by emotion and perseverance. The birds were added last, carrying the feeling of release and hope. I painted this by listening inward and upward, letting God’s presence guide the piece as much as my own hands.
