Dreaming About A Life To Come - Original Oil Painting

Canvas size 11x14 (overall framed size is approximately 17x20)

Eleven years now behind her,
And countless others in store
She dreamt of a life to come,
Where endeavors would soar

Her friends had dreams too,
They just weren’t as immense
Rather ordinary they were,
Falling short of suspense

She had a passion for reading,
And in each book that she read,
Were stories so extraordinary,
They’d immerse her young head

Dreams destined the mundane,
For they wouldn’t happen here
Her innocent mind brimming,
It was as if nothing she feared

As each year would pass by,
And the older she grew,
Much like the fantasies she read,
The further she flew

A good book, away from worldly distractions, and without a care in the world. What else could be better? I had been wanting to attempt this particular subject matter for quite some time, and finally decided now was the time.

The painting is a mix of the impasto style that I typically prefer, on a somewhat smoother background (also done with a palette knife). I did some brushwork throughout parts of the painting to achieve the look I was after. Working on things like the hands and feet, where finer details are crucial, can be a challenge, but is also very rewarding. I really like the way everything turned out. I say it a lot, but this has quickly become one of my favorites.

It’s mounted in a copper upcycled wooden frame that really makes the deep colors of the painting stand out.
