I love when a painting begins to feel like a world of its own.
A moment pulled from a story, with a past we can only imagine and a future left unwritten.
He has somewhere to be, someone to miss, and miles left to travel. At least, that’s what I see.
What do you see?

Somewhere between the sky and the sea, where the impossible feels possible. A little dreamlike, a little mysterious, and a reminder of the wonder that exists in the world around us.
#oilpainting #whale #sea #dream
I saw this painting before I ever touched a brush. It came to me in a dream: a woman falling through the sky, a whale drifting in the blue depths below, two worlds separated by a restless sea.
What I love is that after completing it I noticed something cool-the background looks like the moon! The water becomes clear and both she and the whale are suspended in space.
I woke with the image still lingering, carrying the strange, quiet ache of something half-remembered. I knew I had to paint it.
Some things ask to be understood. Others simply ask to be made.

Bob Ross had a way of reminding us that possibility begins with belief. A blank canvas, a little curiosity, and the courage to see where the brush takes you. Maybe the magic was never in getting it right, but in believing you could make something beautiful. 🎨
