Drawn Two

Everyone needs and longs for acceptance. A sense of place and belonging gives us the drive to get up and keep moving. Very few of us all will be influencers or movie stars, but we all have ambitions and aspirations. In the time I like to regard as mythological times where we draw inspiration from, I can only imagine the same priorities were important.

I’ve reflected a great deal on the paintings of my great-grandmother and her oil paintings and it reminded me how Coast Salish art from here has been drawn from emotion and interpreted as spontaneous. Just as inspiration is an energy that cannot be captured such is life and love. There are times we long for something we cannot have or be. There are times we have more than we were ready to receive. All the same a painting can convey such things.
