Into the Wild Painting

Previously a dancer, I have chosen to translate various elements of music such as passionate vocals and instrumental sections into color and shape. This piece is inspired by the song "Into the Wild" by LP, and represents my severe case of wanderlust and love of nature. This oil painting should inspire in the viewer a sense of living with youthful abandon and freedom as they run towards an unknown future. The textured paint from the flower petals streaks and blurs into the center of the piece to give an uplifting sense of magic to the viewer, which I believe can be found in abundance in nature if you look hard enough.
