"In Quietness and trust shall be your strength". This is a 36x36 oil on canvas. The Old Veteran Cypress Point Lobos, CA

“Botanists say that trees need the powerful March winds to flex their trunks and main branches so that the sap is drawn up to nourish the budding leaves. Perhaps we need the gales of life in the same way, though we dislike enduring them. A blustery period in our fortunes is often the prelude to a new spring of life and health, success and happiness when we keep steadfast in faith and look to the good in spite of appearances.”
