Roots and Wings Painting

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots, the other, wings. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe We need both: We need roots to be able to fly. I frequently write Thankfulness Lists as thankfulness is one of the strongest, most positive feelings. And when I last made one I wrote „roots“ and „wings“ on it as two of the things I am grateful for. I have strong roots. I come from a loving and caring family. A network that will always be powerful. My parents gave me roots when I was little and they gave me wings and let me fly as I grew up. In my case I am sure that my wings got stronger and their span broader over the years because of the balance between this earthly connection and the freedom to explore. My artwork „Roots and Wings“, with its strong base and complimenting light elements, shapes and lines, was inspired by the strong feeling of thankfulness for my roots as well as my wings. Like my other paintings it is a square format and consists of various colorful, contrasting layers of acrylic paint, ink and charcoal. On your wall, it reminds you that you can spread your wings and fly, as your roots will support you.
