This is my current project. Having started studying social work, I have got an imminent need of expressing myself as I often come home overloaded with information, frustrated with expectations and struggling with motivation. I call it "fly away" (sun set and birds are on the move flying away - maybe to the warmer parts of the planet, maybe returning to their nests after a long day....). I hope that it keeps developing and some of the aspects of this painting will become recognisable to the universal audience. ;o)
I have decided to embark on a journey of trying different colours. I have been successful at resisting use of pink in my life for numerous years (apart from a couple of exceptions) and have decided to be adventurous and test out new territories. My dear friend V is thinking that "fly away" theme is my way of coping with significant changes in my life at this point of time - having to leave enjoyable full-time employment, re-entering full-time education and having to work part-time at the same time - feels bit heavy at times. I guess that she is probably right - somewhere deep in my subconscience are hidden urges to express my anxieties, worries and desires to run away from all of it.
The feeling of flying away - soaring on the wings like eagles sounds great. I do not wonder that men have spent centuries trying to fly. The sense of freedom and bigger perspective of the world underneath. I guess that it is good that our dear Father in heaven did not give us wings as it could boost our pride, our desire to rule the world without Him being central to everything. Humans have always tried to reach the heavens but there is only one way to do that and that is through Christ who is the bridge. ;o)
