The Lovely @eaglespirit is running this week's "Steemit Vision Quest". This week's theme is "Desert Wilderness" and I felt inspired to participate with a work I made in 2013.
The Vision I had when making it, was that of the soul adventurer, off to find paradise. Even faced with hardships, obstacles and potential failure. The nature and calling to explore must be heard!
I'm poor at documenting the making of my works. But this one is a combination of acrylic Paintings I did on linen. Added to multiple layers of other photographs through photoshop.
This image also gives me visions back to time I spent in the desert between India and Pakistan. It makes me long back to the days that I was roaming the world, free and on the move.
It also reminds me of my good fortune to have continually found oasis' and watering holes along the way. As an artist, my destiny is often decided by the grace of others. So for me it's also a vision of thanks.
I guess in a way, this artwork is mainly a call to GO FOR IT. In many cases our frontiers are not physical, so it's not always necessary to travel vast distances to broaden one's horizons. Face your challenges, have the faith and the courage to DO IT.
Bonus piece: Mixed media artwork I did in 2015
