The Story
As an abstract painter, I often begin with no fixed “picture” in my head; rather, I put on music that is inspiring me, lay out some colours that appeal to me, and just begin creating. In the case of this painting, I had originally painted it vertically, so it was a long rectangle. However, after I had painted it, I turned it on all sides and realized that, in fact, I had painted a sort of bridge! I turned it so that the viewer looks at it as a horizontal rectangle rather than a vertical one. What’s more, a few weeks before I started this painting, I had created another one that also turned out to be a bridge. That one was called “Dream Bridge I,” and I sold it at an exhibition at Twist Gallery on Queen Street West in October 2021. So, now that “Dream Bridge I” has been adopted, “Dream Bridge II” is looking for its forever home!
