I had a pretty unsupervised childhood, for better or worse.

I really appreciate them.<br /><br />I'm really interested in childhood fantasy worlds, for both girls and boys, and how they weave into our adult realities and desires. I don't think of the work I'm doing right now as "fantasy art" but maybe it is.Linda Tracey Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019625293977706208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728204423403450490.post-23871771984412063992015-07-27T18:43:27.956-07:002015-07-27T18:43:27.956-07:00This painting inspires me.

I had some pretty compelling fantasy worlds when I was a child, and I find it's absolutely necessary to go back to them in order to get to the root of who I am and what I want to paint. <br /><br />Kudos to you for doing this important "root" work! I'm looking forward to more.Alexandra Tynghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753364096345007944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728204423403450490.post-80958137240284817272015-07-27T16:06:51.913-07:002015-07-27T16:06:51.913-07:00What wonderful news about this beautiful painting....What wonderful news about this beautiful painting.
