9/2
How art sparks desire for something more than everyday.
Life memories, art allows one to get lost in their fantasies. The images, structures, etc. allow the viewer to get a glimpse into another facet of another life; something they have not experienced and long to do so. One can get lost in hopes and dreams and other possibilities.
Personally, I am drawn to images of water. I love all water, whether it be the ocean, lakes, rivers, or creeks, and I hope to always be surrounded by them. I was born and raised in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes. My entire life has been spent living on a large pond, having a cabin on the enormous Lake Superior, and going to school in the Cities directly on the Mississippi River. I love just sitting by the water, boating, doing water sports; anything that involves the water.
Paintings that revolve around the sea particularly grab my interest. Impressionist artists like Claude Monet or Romantic painters of the 18th century. I am drawn to the way the light reflects on the water, the life out there, and even man made creations such as boats. The way color and light interacts is truly amazing.
