Imagine a mountain range...
... of cliffs and rock walls....
... that rise up from the ground...
to meet a moody blue sky...
Imagine a forest...
...where the trees stand strong...
... branches still bright with reds and golds ...
... the ground littered with the leaves already fallen ...
Imagine a stream...
... winding through woods in graceful curves...
... reflecting the colors from above...
... and stones that line its banks...
Imagine a place...
... that makes you squint in wonder...
... "Who lived in that castle?...
"Where do those steps lead?"...
Imagine a story...
... with a wand hidden in the grass...
... or a golden ring in the shallows of the stream...
... or a doorway ruin at the forest's edge...
Imagine yourself...
.... standing before that door...
... if you stepped through...
... you'd probably end up on the other side...
But...
... Imagine... What if...
"Mom, could you paint something for our new living room? Maybe it could be like a forest... or a stream... maybe some reflections... or a path... kind of dark-ish or moody... and maybe a castle in the background... like on some mountains... kind of rough, not exactly realistic ... pretty big so it could go behind the couch... lots of reds would be good... with golds or oranges.... oh, and maybe some ruins like old stairs or a doorway... rocks are good too...."
Ummmm... That's a lot going on... Ummm... I'm going to need to think about this for a bit... But somehow, all those fragmented ideas knitted themselves together to become this painting.
