I think this might be the smallest painting I've done since high school- it's only 8" x 10". This was
sort of by accident really- I've been working on a mixed media surface called "clayboard" and my
local art supply store had only one panel left, which was this size. I admittedly consider it more of
an illustration rather than a painting because it's so little. I was also going to name this one "Flight"
then realized that's what I called last week's painting. Duh. So instead, I thought of wayfarer or
traveler because that's what this bird appears to be doing. I daydream about being a wayfarer often-
of just setting out and meandering around the world seeing and experiencing things for the rest of
my life. But although I dream of doing this, I admittedly like day to day routine. I'm about 50/50
on this one- I want adventure, but I like stability. I guess I'll just have to figure out a way to do
both. And really, I guess it's just a matter of perception. We can infuse adventure into everyday
life just as we can add stability to travel if that is our desire.
