Glacial Gift 2021

Terri Kelly Moyers created this beautiful landscape painting of a glacial scene, most likely in oils, sometime in the 20th century. It makes me think about the challenges and joys of painting landscapes, especially the way she renders all those rocks, water, and mountains! It must have been a real commitment, like climbing a mountain yourself. All those browns, grays, greens, and blues... she has a real eye for color, don't you think? I can imagine her, brush in hand, trying to capture the light as it shifts and changes across the scene. Painting is such a physical thing, and the way she's built up the paint on the canvas gives the image such depth and texture. It's like she's inviting us to step into the painting and explore this amazing landscape with her. Artists, you know, they're always talking to each other across time and space, inspiring each other to see the world in new ways.
