Lots of Liver Consciousness here.

I painted this landscape, a gift for Jen and Jonathan, of a view from their deck overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is a thank you for their hospitality on the occasions I visited their mountain home in North Carolina.  Jonathan just made a frame for this oil painting, using wood from a linden tree that once graced their yard in Maryland. 
My visits to J and J in NC coincided with Qi Retreats with my Tao of Healing School where I am a Qigong student and where I've trained in Medical Qigong and Dragon's Way Qigong® under the guidance of ​​Grandmaster Nan Lu. 
In the Five Element Consciousness Framework, the wood element corresponds to the Liver.  Liver Qi is in part about growth, fearlessness and creative expression. All these trees; this wood; All this creativity.
