The way home is the way that many proverbs talk about and one of them says that when you go home your legs carry you no matter where your home is in a river valley or high in the mountains.
I have noticed many times and my wife and children have noticed this that after driving hundreds of kilometers by car and feeling very tired at the moment when you cross the border of your country suddenly out of nowhere strength appears cheerfulness appears fatigue disappears and you continue your way home with new strength.
Sometimes I think about life in the mountains but thoughts come that maybe there is clean air in the mountains beautiful nature but periodically you need to go down from the mountains and then return home up the slope but this is an independent choice and the house that I depicted in my drawing is symbolic.
Day and night in good weather and in bad weather the journey home should be easy and full of the joy of returning to where you are always awaited.
On April 16, 2024, I began to draw steps in the rock that lead up the mountainside.
I did not know the final result of my work and did not imagine the overall picture everything appeared gradually, step by step both ideas and images on paper.
Drawing imaginary landscapes is not very easy if you want it to have some degree of realism.
Maybe one day I will have enough patience to draw each stone and work on its details but for now I do not take into account some details.
It is good when several paths lead to your home because I also drew a suspension bridge that leads to the opposite side of the gorge.
At some point I decided that the drawing was ready but after thinking some more I decided to immerse this image in the atmosphere of the night and began to darken the sky.
The moon appeared in the sky which was supposed to light the way home.
In this form the drawing was definitely ready and I was able to put the pencils on the table.
More to come!

Have a blessed day!
