Distant Mountains
Mountainesque Series
Photo Credit ~ Daniel Krucoff
Where do I start? Another in my Mountainesque Series. I find my inspiration and title in the stone. Another beautiful Sonoran Sunrise from Gary B Wilson. There is a very rich rusty red in this stone. As you look at the center of it there is a goldish band that looked like Distant Mountains to me. The shapes of mountains form the back drop in the sterling silver setting. As I designed the setting for this piece, that free flowing movement in creating the surrounding mountain shapes just came naturally. It’s becoming a bit of an endorphin high for me as I create the designs and follow through with the creation of the piece. Love it!
I’ve had to take a small break from working on my Mountainesque Series because I am preparing for an event that takes place on May 1st. I will be posting details about the event and the new works in another week or so. Preparing for this event became a bit of design challenge for me and I actually have a new series as a result. Stay tuned …. I think you will like this new direction.
For now, I will leave you with Distant Mountains. Until next time, aspire to be more as an artist and a person.

Kathleen, this is truly outstanding! I really appreciate the extra large photo so I could really ‘check it out’. I’m sure you’ve already told Dan thanks for the great photo, but will you tell him so for me, as well?
