In the Beginning empty Butterfly & Lotus includes aIn the Beginning was inspired by a photograph I took one winter while walking along the Lake Michigan in Evanston, IL. I titled this piece In the Beginning because when I was a kid in art class, we would go outside to the lakefront to paint and draw. I was usually found by the water witnessing the beauty of all the blues in the water and sky.
