This figurative oil painting is called “Reaching”.   I’ve had a song by “One Republic” in my head for the past couple of weeks.  The song is called “Counting Stars”.  Part of the lyrics are:

My family is artistic and we’re all following our dreams.  My husband is a music composer, my son is a film maker, and I’m the painter.  We’re all reaching for success in our fields and that’s what inspired this painting.  I hope it inspires others to reach for their dreams.[Chorus]
“Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin’ hard
Said no more counting dollars
We’ll be counting stars
Yeah, we’ll be counting stars”
