The Dreamer’s my latest oil painting, and it’s not your loud Impressionist. It whispers. She’s alone-yeah, but not sad. It’s the good kind of alone, like when you ditch the phone, the room goes silent, and you finally hear your own self think. Nature doesn’t comfort her; she comforts it. I painted this for every one of us who needs a break from life’s noise. Sometimes, stepping back isn’t retreat-it’s power.
