"When Dreams Take Flight"
Acrylic on Museum Board. One of a series of paintings that I did inspired by "Inner Chapters", the writings of Chuang Tsu. In one of the stories he describes the flight of a legendary giant bird, and how it is mocked and belittled by the smaller birds of the surrounding area as it soars away from the earth into the heavens. The story culminates with the line, "...This is the difference between Great and Small." I probably read this story in my high school years, and it has stayed with me ever since.
