Wellspring of Dreams - Original Painting by Stephen Lursen

Painting: Acrylic and gold leaf on Canvas.

"Wellspring of Dreams" is a fantastical work intended to inspire the viewer's imagination through imagery and color. As an artist, I am inspired by flight and I closely associate flying with a confidence in hope and faith. The circles represent hope, ideas, and dreams. These hopes are often fragile. They are created by gilding the surface with gold leaf. These vulnerable dreams and ideas are protected by the owls in gentle flight. If "life is what you make it", why not make it dreamy and filled with magic?

This painting is 36" tall x 24" wide x 1.5" deep. It is an original acrylic painting with gold leaf delicately applied, just enough to add momentary sparkles of light which can be seen when walking around the painting. It is finished and unframed. Framing is not necessary due to the depth of this heavy duty canvas.
