Salvation Mountain

Paint.

Leonard Knight died last week at the age of 82. Known for nothing, he lived a quiet life In the desert bringing to life his own unique oasis of art made from materials salvaged from the desert and donated by passers by and the curious.

I love to see quiet labors of love and artistry played out in simple lives. I love to be reminded of how much art, how much creative time and energy can be into projects that exist only to satisfy the creator, not for financial gain or prestige.
