Title: Imagination: Friend or Foe?
Series: The Four Seasons
Media: Acrylic & Mixed Media on Canvas
Size: 6”H x 6”W (15 x 15 cm)
Our imagination is a wonderful thing! And yet, we can let it go wild and the next thing we know, we’re worrying and fretting about something that may never happen. It takes just as much energy to have faith as it does to have fear. I try to remind myself of this whenever my imagination starts to get the best of me.
While this series depicts the West Coast landscape it also symbolizes my journey as an artist – the leap of faith to quit working to become a full time artist and signing the lease of my first commercial art studio, the lessons I’ve learned while owning a business, the struggle and determination to keep it alive, and the sense of pride I feel when I’ve accomplished something. In all this, I am trusting that I am on the right path while searching for the right opportunities to come along. I will walk through the forest, rest my hand on the vast trunk of a favourite cedar, and whisper my thoughts, hoping for a break through – a sense of clarity as to what to do next. I plan, I improvise, I push through and am rewarded for my effort. It took four years to get to this place. Four years of witnessing the seasons change while staying true to my vision, protecting my investment, watching it grow.
