Well I finished another one today. Actually, I should mention that I’ve been working on this one for quite awhile. I started weeks ago and didn’t like how it was coming out at all so I totally redid the background today and now I love it. The forest seemed like the perfect setting for this young man.

I’ve been doing a lot of paintings lately of people who are searching for something. I’ve also noticed that I always seem to do a solitary figure in my paintings. I wonder what it is about that theme that fascinates me. A friend once suggested to me that an artist puts something of herself into every painting she does. Maybe that’s what I’m doing. Anyway, here is my painting. I’m going to call it Vision Quest.

This is another painting that’s on display at the Fairview Museum. It’s one of my most recent Prisma Color paintings. I did it because I love to imagine what life might be like for the animals of the forests. Their world must be so quiet all the time, so very silent. Their lives are an ongoing struggle for survival and yet they are at all times surrounded by breathtaking beauty. Are they concious of this beauty? Are they aware of the magnificence of creation? Do they ever stop to glance about them and gather these visions the way that humans do?

I like to think that they do.
