The Flying Lesson
2009
27 x 22 / Oil on Panel
Limited edition giclee prints available via www.paulbondart.com
This painting is about the willingness to risk. The stone, having sat in the safety of its nest, has been given ‘training wings’ and is being lifted by a cloud. What causes any of us to be willing to risk the unknown is a mystery that greatly intrigues me. Perhaps a desire to move forward towards a future joy, or the fear of stagnating, or a profound love that calls us forth. Either way, once we have ventured from our safety zone, a new journey of expansion is begun. As was insightfully penned by the writer Anais Nin, "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
