Had a magical experience this summer, in part thanks to a grant from Erie Arts and Culture. Visited Nepal and Tibet. Whose imagination doesn't run like a spastic 9 year old when hearing the names Kathmandu, Lhasa and Mount Everest? Words for describing it are like watching a shadow puppet version of a great film. Even pictures can only give a hint at the magnificence.
I did a painting when I got home just to anchor me a bit while I continue to process it all. Below are some photographs that reveal a little of the overwhelming beauty that one has to deal with when there.
THE FACE OF GOD
