My own world

Saturday, March 25, 2023

I live in my own world. It’s okay, they know me here.

I think I spend more time with my headphones on at home than not. Part of it is because I hate the quiet. Part of it is because I’m on an audiobook bender. Part of it is so that I can escape reality.

I think that’s why I did this piece. It’s large, 24”x36”. I gold leaved the entire canvas. I’m pretty sure it was because I knew it would be time consuming, rather than my desire to have gold leaf cover everything within 5 feet of me… seriously, even after vacuuming, it looks like I squeezed Tinker Bell until she exploded. Then I sat and stared. Stared until some kind of inspiration would hit. When it did, it took me to another world. A world with a family of trees. Trees that may appear separate, but have their roots entangled…. except for one.

Can you guess which one is me?
