Time Travel….

It is said that reading takes you to far away places in your mind and let’s you experience a place without moving from your chair.  I feel the same way about painting and creating.  I can choose to go to Paris, France for instance.  I can immerse myself in colors and shapes from any time and place.  Looking at this view of the Eiffel Tower “takes me there” in a way.  It is such a magnificent structure that I feel I have enhanced in my art.  This piece is a composite painting using a vintage post card and layers of other imagery.  My choice of nebula brings to mind a timelessness and connectivity of all.  I can see this place…and if I close my eyes, I can feel it too….

Time travel has been an interest in Science Fiction films and books for many years.  Poets have written about it.  Scientists have dreamed of it.  So far, all we can do is go back in our minds to places we have been or seen before.  If you could go back in time, where would you go?  Sometimes I think it would be cool to go back a few hundred years and see how people acted back then.  But then I remember my Holistic Medicine beliefs…my herbs….my meditation and know I would be burned at the stake somewhere.  Honestly if I could go back, I would not go far.  I’d go back to last Summer and say goodbye to my Dad before he passed away.  I’d go back and spend time with Grandparents, Friends and other loved ones who have passed.  For me time travel wouldn’t be all that exciting to an outsider looking in.  Iced tea and biscuits with Granny would be Nirvana…..Digging up worms with my Dad for fishing would be amazing……Where would you go?
