Is there a special place you go to daydream and let your imagination soar? My “awake” dreams always require these supernatural abilities to come into play. I can hear little whispers of “This can’t be done…you’re not going to pull through.” But at the same time, I keep advancing as I want to know what truly will be the outcome. “The unknown” gives me butterflies and quick flashes of hot and cold, yet it is positive. In this Turner-inspired painting, the dark, tumultuous waves are ever present and the distance from the shore seems overwhelming, but still this person is walking on water. The warm Light in the distance marks his/or her path; Resembling a modern day, Peter. My imagination loves the idea of walking on water - a fleeting fantasy though. This person has assurance. Do you know what that is?
