A stylized landscape painting featuring rolling hills rendered in warm terracotta and rust tones, dotted with clusters of deep green evergreen trees. A bright blue sky and layered rocky formations create depth, while the composition employs a modernist, somewhat abstracted approach to depicting mountainous terrain.

It’s a bit like this.

Lately, for the most part, there has been three Mikes. A Painting Mike, a Fishing Mike, and a Dreaming Mike.

The Fishing Mike is trying to be more of the Painting Mike and Dreaming Mike while Fishing.

The Dreaming Mike is trying to be more of the Fishing Mike and Painting Mike while Dreaming.

Beautiful Day.
