My most painful and joyful moments led me to my mission, which is to have individuals experience their inherent human value, and that fun helps individuals see their value. Ask me how my art reflects my mission. info@cynthiamosser.com www.cynthiamosser.com  

  After a day of glorious sunshine, and the next day it rains, I often say, "Well, here we go again!" I have to remember the beauty of the rain. Maybe the gray sky isn't fun, but the nature...oh the lush, green nature...travel almost anywhere else, and return to the west side of the Cascade Mountains in the Pacific Northwest, and you're reminded why you live here. Because it's green, and nature makes you feel good, and rain does too. ❤ Cynthia "Water Swirls 2," 2023 Blue gel pen on acid-free paper 11 x 8.5 in (28 x 22 cm) $200 Buy it here for a Valentine's Day gift: https://buy.stripe.com/00g147cABgv99uEaF6 Cynthia Mosser Cynthia Mosser Fine Art www.cynthiamosser.com info@cynthiamosser.com #cynthiamosser #art #drawing #inkdrawing #artist #rain #bluepen #Rainflower #vancouverwashington #lineart #wavyline #pacificnorthwest #beauty #water

As someone who grew up in Portland, Oregon (on the west side of the Cascade Mountain Range in the Pacific Northwest [USA]), rain is something that is simply part of life. When it isn't raining, like during the summer, I miss it, and can't wait for it to begin again. When it is raining, or let's say raining too much, I wish it would stop so I can at least go for a walk. ❤️Cynthia "Water Swirl 3" Gel ink on acid-free paper 11 x 8.5 in (28 x 22 cm) $200 Purchase it here: https://buy.stripe.com/7sI28b301fr522c9B0 #cynthiamosser #drawing #blueline #art #raindrops #rain #pnw #raining #water #vancouverwa  

When I was 18 in 1988, I climbed my fourth mountain, which was Symmetry Spire in the Grand Tetons. Doing outdoor activities like this was easy because I grew up with mountaineering parents and the Mazamas climbing club. We were always going outside: mountain climbing, skiing, hiking, camping, rafting. I often cried (from fatigue) during each climb (you have to keep eating, and I learned the hard way). Still, once I reached the top, I could see myself. I could "see" my value, and it gave me confidence. What I have discovered from being adventurous at such a young age, is that I now have no resistance to going outside and having a good time. It seems easy and very natural. I now "see" myself and my value through surfing. I also now offer ADVENTURE PORTRAITS, which are commissioned black and white charcoal drawings of individuals having a life-affirming outdoor experience.

From time to time, you see an element that speaks to you. In this case it was this moving blue line. Of course I love blue, but what this line shape provided is a water-like quality that we all know so well in the Pacific Northwest.

This image is a gouache painting representing a short trip I took around South Moravia (Slovácko) in the Czech Republic with my friend Ivana C. this past summer (2022). It was my dream to drive around and look at the various villages (Strážnice, Louka), and look at the way they paint folk art on actual houses! I love the shapes, the feminine and plant-like qualities, plus how the ornamentation is really in service to the harvest. NOTE: This small region (Slovácko) is in the southwest part of the country and is part of Moravia. It shares a rich cultural heritage of ornament and folk art decoration. I was lucky enough to experience a few towns, and see an exhibition sponsored by the Moravian Glory Foundation. It's safe to say I was blown away by the beauty of their ornamentation. The colors of red, blue, yellow and green also are representative of common colors used in the region.
