For decades I was a senior executive in a few large corporations. It is a stressful job. Every month you live and die on your ability to motivate people to meet objectives: sales, profits, new product development, new hires, cutbacks, follow ups, administration, etc. You are constantly under attack: for your decisions, for the people you hired, etc. The attackers were those under you who wanted your job and your peers who were jockeying with you for the next rung up the ladder. I painted this picture many years ago and hung it in my office to remind me that there was a place far beyond the jungle that I worked in where you could run free and the biggest objective was to just get a kite into the air. Where you could see the ocean and feel the breeze on your face. Far, far away from meetings, boardrooms, telephones, e-mails, buildings, speeches, ties, suits, shiny shoes, white shirts and...
Ian Duncan MacDonald. "Artists are different. That creative void inside of them is filled by the gift of art. That persistent need to create. It keeps them striving.

As one of the others commented it could have been painted a hundred years ago. I really am not sure why I chose to paint it but of my 2,000 images in Fine Art America it probably is my favorite. It is sitting on the wall behind me. Thanks for your comment.

This painting is timeless. It could have been painted in 1850, 1750. 2013. I am so happy to have found such loveliness on this spring afternoon. And then in reading your description of it to discover how important it was in your own life! F/V
