Straight Up

Painting - Oil On Linen
Description
An Italian cypress grows straight up reaching for the heavens and sways with the slightest breeze to delight the senses, yet it holds strong. As I relax on my balcony at the beautiful Hotel Los Gatos and marvel at the view, God’s creation, I relish His understanding, humor and parable.
Straight up is a term used for straightforward, forthright, honest, true to one’s intent, intentional. This is a trait to be admired…
- direct: a straight path; without a bend, angle, or curve; not curved.
-in an erect posture: to stand up straight.
Love the juxtaposition of the jagged roof line looking up next to the straight growing cypress tree.

Lovely, This is a type of painting I wonder what is beyond the scene you've painted.
Lori Pittenger replied:
Hi, thank you for your comment and for noticing this artwork. Yes, there is alot beyond this scene, a beautiful place and town "Los Gatos, Ca." What is significant about this is what is right before my eyes in this moment being there. The sheer gratitude of being there and present enough to notice this amazing cypress and its nature to grow straight up. A mix of emotions and giddiness. The beauty of life along with the little God winks that connect with us personally, make us realize that there is something so much bigger than ourselves if we only have eyes to see.
