A New Dream

A grisaille underpainting with burnt sienna established the value foundation and 2 to 3 color passes were done to create the depth for this piece. Sometimes our plans get derailed for heartbreaking reasons that we can't explain. Loss in all its forms brings opportunity for reflection and with it the search for a new dream. This piece was inspired by such loss for myself this past winter and the realization that if I look long and hard enough, a new dream will motivate me to keep pushing through this time in our lives. I am quite sure personal growth will also ensue. It always does!
