Dream of Flight

What does it mean for you to fly?

I was speaking to my partner about a painting I recently finished, which I titled, “Dream of Flight:”

I spend so much of my time day dreaming. My head constantly in the clouds, an eternal optimist, for better or for worse. I often laugh with my partner, who is the pragmatist out of the two of us, that I spend so much time in my thoughts that the line between earth and sky becomes a blur.

In the times when I’m much more invested in my inward world, I ask myself if I’m trying to escape something. Truthfully? Yes.
