A Canvas I painted for my friends birthday.
Washed up on the shores, its only an imagination. Your name only given to you. Someone else might carry the same, but aren't we all different? More if we choose to become? What if everything was only our imagination because the world we believe to see isn't real? Maybe the only thing real is our relationship to it? There is no dark raincloud following anyone. If we pay attention, might we be able to leave the clouds outside the canvas and find sanctuary within?
There are clouds but it isn't raining on this beautiful beach. Although the clouds are on the horizon. This painting should express warmth and I know you love Beaches and feeling the warm sand on your feet. What if we are all able to choose how we paint our future imagination and the canvas lies in front of us now?
If one were to ask people to imagine a field or a path they often imagine plants, trees or rocks for orientation. Something with familiarisation. If it's not the richness of vegetation, colourful flowers, a blue sky and a limitless horizon, what else is it? What if these are obstacles that obscure clarity? Insecurities that we can discern when we imagine them and realise that they are a part of us? What are they?
I added rocks because each of the bunnies had an emotion. It's not easy to control ones emotions, yet one can learn to control thoughts instead of being controlled by them. Feeling emotions is being alive. Living is to embrace life. Sadness a way to become happy again; emptiness to be fulfilled. What if every emotion is triggered from an absence projected by the external universe? How do they become something inside of us? Can not all answers be found within us if we choose to challenge ourselves with the tasks at hand?
To me you are so full of life and I admire that in you. The Rabbit's of tragic thought, shame, being shy and coy come from their own rabbit holes. I believe we can probe those emotions deep within us if we understand how we learned them through what we experienced. Everything can become a part of us, but nothing is momentary. We can release ourselves from anything that constrains us.
Your intensity is a part of who you are and it makes you so uniquely amazing. It's like you erupt with these sentiments. Your happiness is contagious to people around you. Like a radiant being of light you can spread so much positivity. You are kind, caring and your sense for empathy makes people feel so recognised. Everyone loves this about you. You can be such a joy giving person.
I painted random rabbits that reminded me of Alice in wonderland. We all have our own rabbits and deal with them at our own pace. I guess I still need to understand mine... When one comes back out of a rabbit hole, one can appear in ones own world and the imagination of how that world will look like has no limitation. If I have an empty canvas in font of me, creation has infinity possibilities. What if I awake in the present moment and become truly conscious, can I make a choice?
Can you make out the letters?

I used markers, brushes, spray paint and acrylic colours.
