they took with them all that mattered and lit fires to remember their way home


"they took with them all that mattered and lit fires to remember their way home"
original oil painting on birch panel
14 by 18 inches
$1800.


I don't usually have quite as clear of a final painting in mind when starting paintings of this size and larger so it's not really the best example of how I work, generally quite a bit more things come and go in the composition, but I still thought it would be fun to share.

I love the idea they took all that matters. They look so content, even though they lost their house.
The horse carrying them through life.
