About the Artwork:
“My work over the past several years has focused primarily on a world of ‘gentle creatures’ that lurk various landscapes. Each one is a unique soul, often wandering or interacting with nature. While there is sometimes a feeing of sadness or longing in the work, there is always a glimmer of hope and an overall sense of “humanity” in their eyes . Each new piece is a snapshot from their world. It has certainly been an interesting journey and each painting presents an opportunity to further explore their universe. The world has many parallels to our own and occasionally it even crosses over. As many of us do, I often find myself contemplating our universe… why we are here, what else is ‘out there’… this piece, depicting a couple of creatures ‘Drifting Through the Cosmos’ kind of sums up that general feeling.” – Dan May
