This painting is from the Sacred Earth Holy Water series of the Gentle Revolution collection. The central panel was initially painted on location in a Wilderness Area of the Olympic National Forest, with other details completed in the studio.

Several years later, the site was unrecognizable due to changes from winter storms. The surrounding panel is an abstract expression about the energy of these changes from movements of water, snow, and wind. It honors the unstable beauty found in nature.
