The Collection "Feels Like Home"

This is the last drawing in a series of 6 showing my love for the experiences I've had in the Western US.

A Fine Day would look lovely displayed as a pair or trio with other pieces from the collection.

The Story Behind the Artwork

It is based off a real memory my family and I have.

to finish off my “feels like home” collection, I’ve saved my favorite place for last. The reason I love this place so much more than all the rest is not really an explainable feeling, but if I had to try, I’d say that the trees are the perfect shade of green. They’re not the deepest green of the damp rainy canopies that cover the Pacific north west, which are beautiful, but I find a Bit eerie. Tthe grass begs to be lived on, by animal and man, with a picturesque farmhouse sitting on top. The rivers feel more crisp and peaceful than anywhere else. It’s the perfect blend of all the surrounding states that make the western US so beautiful. It’s home to some of the most charming communities and people. It’s almost the complete opposite of the desert I've lived in my whole life. so Sure, it’s a “the grass is greener on the other side” kind of situation, but in this case I think it;s safe to say that the grass literally is greener on the other side. I just wish so badly to have seasons that you can see change, and to have easier access to nature and activities that come with it. I just feel that in Arizona, as beautiful and grand as it is, with it;s own perks and benefits, isn't the right place for me. I’m grateful to be here, and dont have plans to leave anytime soon, but for some reason, I feel that Montana is where I will end up someday.

The Storybook

The story I wrote for it is simple and a fun addition to the piece:

If you listen closely, you can hear a melody ringing through the trees. It’s nature’s very own radio station, playing a ballad as old as time.

Out of the pines come five of its star musicians, carrying the tune as the wind carries them. Diving down to the river and circling back up to meet the dragonflies, these little birds sing their song, announcing to the rest of the forest that it is a great day.

Packaging

Your artwork will be carefully packaged in a large box with corner protectors, honeycomb packaging, and bubble wrap to help protect it during shipping.
