A beautiful exhibit! The artist has a enchanting way of showing the life of trees, plants, water, and, especially the sky and clouds. Thanks for the tip.
Another great way of showcasing the beauty of the Truckee! Kudos to the artist and the museum for creating and displaying this work – heightening the awareness of important landscapes within additional audiences, helping to increase that sense of stewardship in the community, is a good thing.
