"For Here Is Rest" 6x8

The title of this peaceful little painting comes from the following quote by John Muir. Its simplicity and cool hues balanced with the warmth of gold leaf make it the perfect piece for bringing a sense of calm to your space.

“Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Here grow the wallflower and the violet. The squirrel will come and sit upon your knee, the logcock will wake you in the morning. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill. Of all the upness accessible to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains.”

- John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir, (1938), page 235.
