#32, longing

From my 100 Landscapes, inspired by my favorite places to dream of: fields to explore, fields that whisper, “be still.”  I’ve imagined myself in these places more times than I can count.  I hope that as you peer inside my mind’s eye, and these lands, it reminds you of one of your favorite daydream places.  

#32, Created as a part of my 100 Landscapes, inspired by my chapter of The Middle: Longings.

“The longings were never weird.  The longings were gold.  They were my voice, my being telling me as a child what would become important to me as a woman.  Love.  Connection.  Meaning.  Magic.  Dreaming.  Slowing down.  Breathing deeply.  Looking for the unseen and the unknown.  Writing.  Imagining.  Belief.  

Maybe the whole of our lives is to go back to the beginning.  To find the magic again.  To believe in big, scary love and just how much it moves the world.  To believe richly in our own selves.  To dive furiously down to the bottom and see what happens next.”

Painting arrives signed with extra beauty and my writing, ready to be framed to include white margin or without.  I prefer to frame these paintings with some of the white margin showing…as it provides elegance and highlights the painting well inside a larger frame.  I love framing mine in floating frames with no glass or a floating frame option with glass…up to you!
