The Lost Field


When I first got this picture I didn’t really like it honestly….but after looking at it for a while I started falling in love with it.  It reminded me of when I would go camping with my family.  I loved it when we would go camping.  Its where I became really close to my dad and where I could just be myself and not have to worry about who I might see or what I look like.  I loved being away from the real world and this painting reminds me exactly of that.  The place in the painting reminds me of a place I would run to every day after breakfast.  I would just start running into the woods, dodging rocks and fallen trees on my way I would find myself just running until I could find something new.  One day I was running but this time I ran the opposite direction I usually ran and found myself in a large open field in the middle of the forest.  It was beyond gorgeous…surrounded by trees and little purple flowers, I found a large boulder to sit on and I just sat there for a while and took it all in.  I loved this place so much that the next day I ran in the same direction and found it again and the next day I showed my family and this became a daily routine.  The next year when we went up to the camp site we found that the water in the lake had risen so much that a lot of the places we used to know were now under water and when I went to find field it was gone.  Covered by water I realized I would probably never see it again, except for in my memory. 
 
 
Crisp mornings, Cool nights
Scenery like a mural
Memories so clear
I will never forget the
Feeling of being so free

  1. I'm so glad you got that particular piece--it stirred some lovely memories for you. How rare and fleeting are the moments when we can just let our guard down and be ourselves without caring how anyone else might see us.

    P.S. Your background image with the dream catcher is very pretty.
