A Morning in the Catskills (Every New Day) (Gift)

Oil on Canvas, 24 x 30 inches. I painted this for my best friend Kurt Lehmann for his 18th birthday present as well as his graduation gift from me. I painted the Catskill mountains in New York per his request. I picked morning to emphasize the new day, a new start into a new world after high school. Also the sky is a symbol for his spiritual side and the mountains are his challenges to climb and defeat. A place he loves in a mysterious fog of what's new and to come.
