The Traveler, made with mixed media (pastels and acrylic) on pastel paper.
9 x 12 inches
Could well be titled "the immigrant"...Inspired by a friend of mine, a poet from Europe, who travels to grow, change and feel, and by humanity...always traveling in time and space, with out satchel full or dreams or curiosity. We brave the snow, rush with a stiff walk if we must, full of hope, just to reach our dream..even if it's as apparently simple as experiencing the fact of having been "there"...wherever it is. We arrive one person, we leave (or stay) a different person... because we indeed are changed by the experience. We travel, we migrate... we melt with other cultures, times and places... It's something we all do - poets, painters, our ancestors, our friends - it's just human.
