Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?

Where do we come from?
At the age of seven I knew.
I stood in front of Claude Monet's "Poppy Field in a Hollow near Giverny".
My journey began.

What Are We?
At the age of fifteen, I fell in love with Gauguin. Then with Picasso and Klee and Chagall. By the age of seventeen, I had fallen in love so many times I stopped counting. I had found my Tribe.

Where Are We Going?
Sometimes backward, sometimes forward, sometimes sideways, always onward. Always on the path.

    Hi Sharon! Thanks so much for your nice comments. Hey, I get to be your first "commentator". I daydreamed thru my youth with the aid of the Impressionists. I thought all those landscapes had to be the prettiest places on earth. I like your vibrant piece. Is it oil or pastel?

    Hi Stephanie! I really enjoyed seeing your work. I'm glad you got to be the first! We obviously shared very similar daydreams! The piece here is painted with acrylics. I love oils but I've always been too impatient to wait for their drying times.
