Second Place Award, Lime Art Association "First Impressions" Annual Juried Exhibition, 2026

This landscape captures a moment relatable to anyone who suddenly find themselves in a strange and unusual place. The eerie expanse of a salt lake, its dazzling whiteness and crunchy texture appear to have stunned the dog who stepped out on this glistening plane for the first time. This painting imparts a sense of wonder and cautious excitement anyone may experience once taken out of their comfort zone. The symbolic meaning of this piece is about the crystalized decision to venture into the unknown. In alchemy, salt is the stabilizing, tangible anchor that gives substance, form, and boundaries to all things, allowing spirit and soul to exist in the physical world. In tarot, a dog walks alongside the Fool, acting as an instinctual guide and protector from unseen dangers. It represents our primitive impulses, intuition, and inner voice.
