Chasing Dreams

I call this painting "Chasing Dreams". The painting is of a woman in a bonnet running through a lavender field towards a sunset horizon to convey a sense of hope, freedom, and the beauty of life's fleeting moments. The woman, her figure gently caught in motion, represents the joyful pursuit of something greater—perhaps a dream, a moment of inner peace, or simply the beauty of being alive.
The lavender field, with its calming hues of purple, symbolizes tranquility and connection to the earth, while the warm colors of the setting sun suggest the promise of new beginnings or the quiet acceptance of life's inevitable rhythms. The bonnet adds a nostalgic touch, linking the past with the present, reminding us of the timelessness of nature’s beauty and the simplicity of life’s most profound experiences.
By painting her running toward the horizon, I aimed to evoke a feeling of optimism—chasing the light and embracing the journey with an open heart, no matter where it leads. It’s a celebration of movement, hope, and the endless possibilities that await as the day transitions into night.
