My 11 year-old daughter and I took a special side trip to visit the magical Ayers Rock. We flew to Alice Springs, took a bus, and climbed the rock with other tourists. Throughout the trip I realized how much Alexa had matured and how fast she would change from that point on. 2/4
Up on top someone dropped a white handkerchief, which the strong wind immediately carried away, sailing off against the blue sky and then falling against the vermilion rock faces.
What I experienced was a sublime vision perfectly timed with my thoughts and emotions. 3/4
I felt like Alexa and I were poised in time between her childhood and her stepping off into the rest of her life. Later, with this painting I attempted to pull it all together in one image. 4/4
