Jesse is working on a new painting that is currently comprised of 9 separate panels at his studio inside True Measure Gallery. He was inspired to write the following short story in his sketch book after working on the painting for three weeks and watching it evolve:

One Mountain Watched / Another Walked Away / As the Dragon Emerged / To Stand Up Right

Here are photos of the painting in progress.
