Beach, bucket and spade by Sam Askin

To me, this artwork is a beautiful metaphor. I took this photo of my daughter a couple of years ago and it has been on my mind to paint for a while… I’m very glad I did! There she stands on the beach, bucket and spade in hand, ready to go and build whatever her heart and mind can conjurewith a blank canvas and a whole ocean of ideas in front of her. Nothing stands in her way, and she has as much creative space and freedom as she could ever want. The sky is brilliant blue, the ocean green, the breeze is high, and tide is retreating, leaving pools extra play space for her to enjoy. This artwork fills me with thoughts of my family, freedom and space, and I hope you can find something that connects you to it as well.
