Canal of Dreams

24 x 30 acrylic on canvas

 On this summer morning before the world awakens , I am contemplating dreams.  Our dreams and how they can come true.


After returning from Italy, and transitioning back into every day life ( which is not all that easy by the way) I am beginning to get over the fatigue that came on by flying to new time zones and walking miles and miles of hills, stones and ancient lands.  It has been a dream of mine for at least fifteen years to go to Italy but especially to hike the Cinque Terre.  I began planning this trip more than 15 years ago.  As I hiked from Corniglia to Manarola and on to Vernazza, along the Mediterranean Sea,   I could feel the most amazing satisfaction that  comes of dreams fulfilled.  I felt immense gratitude.

Our lives are full of contrasts.  As a painter , I am learning the amazing power of contrasts. Contrasts in color, contrasts in shade, contrasts in shape and contrast in line.   Our lives are the same.  We are all reeling with confusion and feelings about the recent happenings in our world.  I think that most of us struggle to understand the different perspectives on various issues that our world is facing.  There is so much darkness in the world.  I hope that we can all take a moment each day to recognize the amazing light that exists as well. The light of life.  Dreams fulfilled,   goals  accomplished,  hopes realized,  sorrows survived and challenges surmounted.  Contrast.   How can we appreciate anything without the power of contrast.  

This is all in all a short life.  Today I will be thankful for this life and will set the intention for the dreams that I will create today.  What do I really really really want?  What am i really willing to give up.  Clarity is the key to unlock my dreams.   

I wish you all a happy 4th of July!  i will be on call this holiday weekend and will be  staying home and hope to play with some blank white canvases.

To dreams ... with love
