Piece description from the artist
This image is a personal favorite of mine, as well as the location itself. I really enjoy the bold color combinations in this image and the simplicity of the scene. I hope that viewers can imagine themselves relaxing next to the grass on a summer day and looking into the sky and clouds. The photo was captured alongside the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon which is full of rolling hills, mountains, and surprising scenes. This particular spot is one of my favorites to go to year round due to its higher elevation, spectacular views, and blooming wildflowers during the spring and summer.
