A Spiderweb of Dreams Lights Up the Sky
June 5, 2025
16″ x 20″
Painting Description:
Dreams are meant to be caught, like catching a shooting star in the sky. The energy you push to that dream, it’s like a spiderweb sticking to it so it won’t blow away in the sky. Everyone’s dream is different, but it connects with each other like a puzzle piece into what is. The now is the dream because today is the present. It’s truly another day to follow your purpose within. My purpose is to show that although I view the world differently, I can paint a picture in your mind like I’m painting with my words on the canvas.
