The subject for this painting comes from the east side of Knoxville, Tennessee during a winter evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, don't do the math too hard here, but, yes, I may have snapped a reference photo for this through my truck windshield while driving along this road. Shame on me, I know. Colors like this are very ephemeral, as is the arrangement of elements within the composition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI had lots of iterations to practice nabbing this view because I was in the midst of driving this route at least daily for months to assist my Mom while she recovered from traumatic injuries following a fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this period of my life, I discovered a wellspring of protective loyalty within myself that I didn't know I possessed. Have you had a loved one in a nursing home lately? Yikes! But I never felt wisdom. Quite the opposite. I was learning and scrambling each day. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis subject and my interpretation of it are reminders that there is always beauty around us. I'm pleased to share that Mom worked her butt off and recovered well. She's now enjoying her life back out and about.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarah Pollock Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42840372707374,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/6638\/6734\/files\/study_sapphire.jpg?v=1792612851","url":"https:\/\/www.sarahpollock.com\/products\/study-sapphire","provider":"Sarah Pollock Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
