Three Fingers Night Painting

This is my vision of traveling to Three Fingers at night. Although I did not get to detail this as much as I had hoped, I studied photographs and such to get the mountain and glacier shape as accurate as I could. Inside the pocket (green backpack) it read: "Find your mountain in life and visit as much as you can... Not finished with that mountain, I need to climb again. I need a push from you, my long and trusted friend. I need the verbal challenge, those thoughtful words that teach. I need the vision ladder for steps that help me reach. You have the magic power, that lights up all my dark. You drive the thinking engine, providing the big spark. Your schedule and my timing, both are out of sync. I need to climb the mountain, to help me stop and think. Your seasons always changing, the summers missed my ride. Your winding path to glory, you tremble deep inside. The timing needs to change, so I can journey back. I need to climb the mountain to get us both on track." -Michael Charles Messineo During art class my teacher had us make paintings of abstract things, but I had something else in mind. For this school project it was titled "Poem in my Pocket" because we had to integrate a pocket into the painting and then insert a poem.
