Photo by Terry Reed, Alaska
Oil on panel 16 x 24 inches by Len Sodenkamp, Idaho
Last week on Face Book I seen some great photography by Terry Reed, through this amazing communication tool I was able to connect with a fellow artist that otherwise would be unknown to me. She granted me permission to attempt to transmit her digital message onto my panel with brush and oil. The question I often ask myself is why? The image Terry made was more then enough to beautifully address this amazing place. Then why must I paint it; ego perhaps. Did I think I could do better? I believe it is for none of these reasons. When I paint from an image like Terry’s I want to feel that place; be there in my mind and experience that frozen moment in time for myself. I may never stand in that spot breathing in that place but thanks to her work I now have a more profound feeling about its magnificent latitude and longitude.

Love Earth,
