Hello Martha, I’m delighted that you like the painting. Two points to consider: it’s a very small painting, perhaps 4×6 inches; it’s also part of one of my sketch/paint books, making it difficult to part with (both physically and emotionally). What I will try and do is create something similar which I would happily send your way if I felt it were good enough. What do you think?
I read your other response first and responded to it, BUT it’s totally OK, Danny. I understand if it’s hard to part with in every respect. Don’t worry about it at all. You don’t have to try to paint another one. 🙂
🙂 I would be so happy to have it around to look at.
I am being driven forward
Into an unknown land.
The pass grows steeper,
The air colder and sharper.
A wind from my unknown goal
Stirs the strings
Of expectation.
Still the question:
Shall I ever get there?
There where life resounds,
A clear pure note
In the silence.
You are one very talented man Mr G! x

Can I buy it? I mean if it’s not out of my reach? I truly love it.

I would like to paint another one. We will see, if it comes naturally and I do get the mountain paints out soon, I would love to send it to you.

I’d be very happy if that is what transpires — but I totally understand if it doesn’t.

That little poem has inspired and heartened me so many times. I used to have it on my wall in my “office” at home beside my computer.

Perhaps I will put it opposite the toilet in my flat 🙂
