Spirit of Tahoma blends the beauty of the Pacific Northwest with the timeless symbolism of stained glass and spiritual ascent. In this bold and radiant piece, Charles Cherry frames a white dove—symbol of peace and the Holy Spirit—within a glowing sunburst of golden panes. Below, the familiar profile of Mount Rainier (Tahoma) rises with dignity, surrounded by layers of forested hills and evergreens. The composition combines crisp ink outlines with vivid watercolor washes, echoing the graphic strength of stained glass windows. Rich in color, light, and spiritual resonance, this painting offers a message of hope, presence, and divine beauty set against a beloved mountain landscape.
