So stunning. It seems the softer they are, the more they shine. I feel so inspired by them, thank you!

That’s such a beautiful way of describing them, Kaitlyn. And I think we could all aspire to be “soft enough to shine".

In the Parthenon painting, I love the way the sky changes color so effortlessly. So hard to accomplish!

Very gentle yet so awake, like the light streaming in on a Sunday morning. I just love Leander’s Tower on the Bosphorus, and the Gorge. They still my soul and waken my senses. Thank you George was totally unaware of this movement and artist

Reminds me of many of the paintings from the 19th century US "Hudson River School" of landscape painters. Let there be light! ☀️
