Personhood


She Dreams of Flight   oil/canvas   30 x 20 x 1.5 

She Dreams of Flight oil/canvas 30 x 20 x 1.5 This painting was accomplished with a photo reference, one of many I shot a few years ago at the University Circle parade in Cleveland, Ohio. The parade is unparalleled...a spectacle of joy! This little girl wore a pair of dollar store wings....Actually, a few years ago, I purchased a pair myself, as their magic awoke the aspiring little girl in me. Because I had only a rear view, I was able to paint an idea, without conforming to the notion of likeness. I saw the universal in her, the desires of each person to fly, to become, to attain, irregardless of cultural restrictions. I became that little girl. I wish her only happiness and joy.
