What do Northern Lights and Snow Leopards have in common and why would I feature them in many of my paintings? Guess the title of this blog post is a dead give-away ... seeing both of them is on the top of my Bucket List.
Life has been good to me in so many ways. Most of all, I feel fortunate to have raised a beautiful, healthy, and strong daughter and to be sharing my life with my wonderful husband who is my true love and best friend. Despite earlier hardships, life is comfortable now, with much to enjoy in the moment and much to look forward to experiencing in the future. I am content and grateful. I feel complete.
Ever since seeing the movie The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, however, I've pondered upon what my top tier items on such a list to see and/or do would be. Of all the sights I'd still like to see, gazing up at the aurora borealis in all its glorious colors and shifting patterns comes in number one. A tie for that place would be to have the chance to see and admire the magnificent, elusive snow leopard.
What a magical experience it would be to see a fluffy furred snow leopard under the swirling, vibrant colors of a Northern Lights sky! Perhaps, I'll combine my two bucket list number ones, and create that very scene in my next painting :)
