WORLDS IN OUR HEADS

WORLDS IN OUR HEADS

As humans we get so caught up in the present. We only look at the world that is right before us, and therefore we make decisions that we believe will "only effect" the world in front of us and more importantly "only effect"  present time. I guess what I'm trying to say is... We need to look at the Big Picture! We need to keep in mind that we are eternal beings, surround by eternal choices. Every choice we make and every thing we do will effect our eternity. There is a reason for everything that occurs in our life, there is always a lesson to be learned, a battle to be won, and a friend to be made. I believe that if we keep an eternal perspective and view everyday situations as eternal choices we will be more kind, more wise, more creative, more productive, and most importantly more happy.
In my painting I wanted convey how wrapped up we get in the worlds in our heads when there is so much around us to be seen. I like to use space to represent eternity, and in this case I used a skull to represent eternal life, because even though we may see death occur on earth that doesn't mean there is an end to our spirit.
