Shastafarian time


 new painting, 80's colors are my favorite to paint with! Given to Jen to help put some color in her tahoe home 

I've been in Shasta since getting back from Japan , at home for a extra week for the celebration of life of my grandma's memorial service who passed away while I was traveling home from Japan. She was a amazing person,  a lived life to the fullest everyday. 
 Also while here I have had time to finish a painting, hang out with friends and family. And spend time with those I don't get to see all the time. 
The highlight of my time here was a super cool morning spend at a local super hippie mineral springs resort going from the mineral bath house to the sauna then  to the  icy cold river 24F water and then back to the mineral pool and sauna.  After flying half way around the world in coach, skiing the backcountry everyday for three weeks it felt super good on my body, and I got to go  with one of my favorite people in this world who was also home for a few days.  I'm heading back to Utah tomorrow not looking forward the 12 hour drive but it will give me time to think, and ponder all of those crazy thing in life like color theory, Utah powder , comps. in Europe  and the girl that  always  haunts my thoughts  .  (driving 12 hours alone  is always super fun !!!)
