The world of imagination belongs to children. Not that adulthood strips us of our imaginings but it is hard to recreate the wondrous world of innocent, pure fantasy that occurs in childhood. There is no inner critic, no voice of reason and responsibility to tell us to get back to reality. I love to observe my husband's nieces and nephews lost in their blissful world of fantasy."Childhood " is the theme this week at Take A Word challenge and through my "playtime" with digital art came this piece representing the world of imaginary friends and doorways to other places and adventures.

That's such fun Lori! I am quite happy to join in with the kid's imaginary world at school, but sometimes I come up against something I can't do, such as help a little boy who had just made a rocket with his problem. He looked at the rocket with a puzzled face and said ''but how can I get in it?''
ReplyDeleteThis is purely a magical piece, Lori, that captures the childhood theme perfectly. I love the feeling you evoke with the elements here. Takes me back to that precious time... thank you for the trip! ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so late with my comments this week. Lori, I agree with all of the above. Your picture is, indeed, magical and you have even added an Australian touch!! Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAww... very lovely ! I've just made a collage with plenty of butterflies too (spirits connected !) but will post later
