A little bit about the painting

Poetic Musings, the title, was taken from a line of poetry written by my friend and the woman pictured  in this painting. The poem is about the experience of feeling lost in our freedom and steeped in our self pity. It ends with hope that we will kick off that self pity and find true freedom in seeking heaven rather than serving ourselves. 

​

This painting was created when I went searching for an image of what life was like for me and my peers. It shows the longing and romanticism of being young. And I think Poetic Musings both the title and the poem describe this painting accurately.
