From the Artist
As you may have guessed, this location represents mixed emotions for me. The sheer beauty of Yosemite is unreal, and unlike anything I had seen before. That said, we had to overcome quite a few hardships, including a broken ankle, to bring this memory home. So to everyone else facing hardship, I offer this painting: there will be beauty, there will be challenges, but you can overcome more than you think.
