'Dreaming'----Acrylic and oil pastel on stretched canvas
.
How can I look out every morning to see the sailing boats gliding serenely by, and not wish to paint them? Ocourse I have to!
This painting is a few years old now, residing in the home of the daughter of a friend. When I send a painting away I always hope that it will bring peace and joy to its new owner. I suppose as I paint, I push in those good vibrations so that they become integrated into the art work and belong there naturally.
I suppose too a part of my soul goes with the painting. The child in the picture is really me, with the sense of openness,innocence, trust and wonder that I wish to preserve.The day dreaming in the child's vision is his reality, lifting him into a beautiful world that he makes his own.
Anyone can be that child. His dreams become their dreams, his world becomes their world, and for that moment they become one.
Maureen.
