Majestic Solitude by Mark Keathley
• Exclusive Release •
Artist Notes:
Creating an image that can capture the feelings I experience when I’m in the mountains is something I attempt to do over and over again. In truth, it can’t be captured. The sheer size and scope of the mountains can only be comprehended while standing in their midst.
Bonnie and I were hiking up in the Tetons a couple of years ago with Colter, and we took hundreds of photos trying to “get it all in,” but nothing seems to ever do it justice. So, back in my studio, I stretch a larger than life canvas and close my eyes and picture what I felt and saw when I was there. Peeking at a few of those photos, I begin to create a design and arrangement that is what I wish I could find every time I am in the wilderness, and this time the pieces came together in a way that pleased me most. We chose to reproduce “Majestic Solitude” in two grandiose sizes so it would convey the spectacular scale of these creations by God - the Teton Mountains. The mountains are viewed from the south - looking north from the Taggert Lake Trail area. I hope you get the feeling that I felt when I was there - standing on an edge of a cliff ... soaking in the glory of God and His creation.

From the Artist:
Trains are a great way to get to see the countryside! Train tracks go where no one else can go - as they travel down corridors and passages created just for them, where no car can go and few people have ever seen. I love the experience of train travel having ridden on the famous Durango - Silverton narrow gauge railroad. Here in this fanciful depiction of this narrow-gauge train, we are topping over the grand overlook where no train has gone before - except in our imaginations. Imagine as the train tops the overlook seeing the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains for miles and miles.

Community of Warmth by Mark Keathley
Artist Notes:
Our journey through life comes in seasons. Sometimes we experience new growth like spring when things are budding and new. Other seasons bring hot summer stillness when we must explore our thoughts and feelings from the pressures of life and seek out some refreshing air or cool water. Often we experience bitterness and cold, but these frigid winds don’t have to be depressing. They can motivate us to bundle up and play, go outdoors with friends or family, make memories with those we love, and spread cheer with those we meet along the way - things you will find in a Community of Warmth.

Sweet Hour of Prayer by Abraham Hunter
From the Artist:
Often when I’m working on a particularly moody painting that somehow reminds me of my childhood, an old classic hymn starts playing deep in the back of my mind. On cassette tapes, we had hundreds of classic hymns that I would listen to, and the tunes are still in my mind and played on my guitar. One of those hymns was my song for this painting. The hymn “Sweet Hour Of Prayer” has a soft and mellow sound much like this painting has a soft mood. This painting reminds me that even when storms might arise and cloud the sun, there’s always a place to go where the flowers are in bloom, the critters are thriving, and the creek is softly singing. This place is prayer. Prayer works, no matter what is going on around you. It causes the world to stop roaring and allows peace to fill your heart and quiet your mind to hear the voice of the Creator. One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible is Philippians 4:6-7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” I hope this painting blesses you and gives you peace and reminds you that you’re never too busy to calm your mind and open your heart in prayer.
