Description Sometimes, I just dream about getting lost... anywhere... far away...

I started this one as a landscape/colour practice... near the end it felt kind of empty so I added the house and the balloons...

Anyway, I hope you like it!!!

Sometimes you just gotta escape Even if it's just in your head (or through art).  Hope you  have a great weekend!

Don't we all sometimes dream like that ^^

I wish I could be up there in one of those hot air balloons, looking at nature's great beauty and violence

Lovely piece

Heheheh! I guess at least most of us!!!

And yes, I'd be really intense to be able to travel in one of those balloons!!! ^^

Thank you very very much for your feedback!!

I'm happy that you enjoy this piece!!!

Possibly one of my favorite pieces of art on here, I love the choice of colors, and it really does feel like a dream!

What a beautifully evocative piece! I can imagine two stories to go with it right off the bat--one, just what you said, the wanderlust feeling, wanting to float freely and just get lost, like whoever's in the balloon, perhaps sailing away from the house... but also, the title also suggested to me, when I saw the little isolated house, that perhaps someone's in that house and someone who cares about that person is in the balloon, coming from someplace else. He/she has to go by balloon over the mountains and water because that was the only way he/she could find to reach the person in the house, and he/she's that determined to be with his/her loved one. I know, I guess I'm in a warmfuzzy mood or something. Either way, this piece really gives me a good feeling, whether of warmth or of wonder. Great job!

Hi Cuddles! 

I'm really glad that you find the painting so evocative! 
I'd say that's one of my main goals whenever I paint something, to let people wander through a different world and build her/his own story!

Thank you very much for your support! I really appreciate it!

Stellar color palette! The mist really gives that extra sense of depth. I really like the waterfalls and the placement of the house near that forest. So cozy

Nada como unas buenas vacaciones, lejos de la civilización...

lejos de su ruido...

lejos de su corrupción... 

lejos de uno mismo... esa persona que diario miro en el espejo y se que es esclavo de la rutina

Hoy me marcho... bon voyage!! 


P.D.: El mejor lugar para escapar es el que te atrapa... (si te alcanza un souvenir)

P.D.: ¿Existirá un lugar como este? Tan cálido y misterioso... mi sitio ideal

Quien sabe... diría que existen lugar incluso más bonitos...

Honestamente, al pensar en la naturaleza, en sus paisajes, me doy cuenta que todo intento de retratarla con fidelidad es imposible,... siempre nos quedamos cortos... ^^
