I love it from the day one to now; I never get tired of looking at it.
As I stare, very very slowly the clouds rise and the ledges give way, almost revealing something beyond them, like I'm driving a car heading to these hills. It's a mini-illusion I can get lost in, for a few seconds. It works every time.
I often wondered if D had gone over the ledges in this picture, and the thought gave me comfort.
When he first put this on the wall, he said that the line of the 'hill' was taken from Wyeth's 'Christina's World.' Then, a few years later, I reminded him. "Of course it's not," he said.

Wow, Deb, it's a nice surprise.. I wasn't sure if you look at this blog these days. He did mention Christina's World, but I didn't pay attention because I don't really like the painting, especially Christina.
