This piece evolved as I began to explore using landscapes as symbolism for a state of being. Wind, rain, and the sun all became characters in my narratives. The Earth Exhales evolved as I began to develop the language of this concept. I have done several variations of this theme which is personally so reflective of my practice of figurative expressionism. The vision of reality shrouded with the glare of the state of mind at any given moment.
