Hello. This piece really moves me. I'm working on a collaborative online journal on the how to reawaken creativity and our first section is on finding yourself drowning in the everyday conspiracy to keep your soul as artless as possible. This piece is so arresting. It says everything in it. Could I use it in my article and link to this page for people to know more about it? Would that be possible?

I love your image. It's very evocative. Icarus is a favorite story of mine. Who can blame him for trying to fly so high? If we had wings, we would too.

As in materials? I work on gessoed wood panels. Draw in colerase black pencils. Seal with matte medium. Acrylics for underpainting. Water soluble Oils to finish on top.
