Dream Within a Dream
Artist

Medium
Drawing - Colored Pencil On Gray Pastel Paper
Description
Self-portrait with silver hair, autumn leaves, and a single monarch butterfly. This portrait is a tribute to where I am in my life now. I retired from teaching last year and now dedicate a large chunk of time to art. Many people retire and feel lost. I feel more in tune and alive than I have in ages. I am grateful for the beauty and love that surround me. Just as leaves and butterflies transition through the stages of life, we also move through life to a different grace.

This gorgeous artwork and its title remind me of Edgar Allan Poe who wrote, "ALL THAT WE ARE OR SEEM TO BE IS A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM." Do you agree? Your gallery is sheer delight, my lady. The world is a better place because of your precious artistic talent that you were born with. I also adore the description that goes with this artwork. It reminds me of the world-renonwned American scholar Joseph Campbell who said something to the effect that we all need to find our center and act out of it. He said that when he was talking about finding your bliss in life. It seems that you have found yours. I really like that. I wish we all did. That's my definition of passion, which I alluded to in my bio.
