About this painting
A highly positive painting about victory, and the joy of future expectations. The unusually tall rectangular panel proved ideal for a painting about reaching for the sky.
A door in the sky opens a crack to reveal a golden light beyond. Far below a rock like a victorious samurai holds aloft a spear. Around the samurai, a mermaid, shells and a child reaching for a butterfly. The orange arc indicates distance, the future but also approaching joy with its colour. |

Technical details
Like most of my paintings, the idea started as an idea sketch, hastily scribbled in a flash of inspiration. Once the idea has been settled upon, detailed images for the different elements of the painting need to be assembled or created and a tone and colour scheme developed.
