  • An altered reality. A dream. A nightmare. A Vision. And it happened all of a sudden.

    Lifted off the chair leaving behind a cloud of smoke and lifted by a bird.
    Has the Dove of Noah come to save the man of the moment?
    One shoe on and one shoe off. Suddenly moving or levitating towards the open window.

    Is there a meaning in this image? Freedom? Hope? Survival?
    It is also a beautiful painting in terms of color, texture, and form.
