Painting inspired by the grasshopper showing us the leaps of faith.
"The Grasshopper" written by Leif Rotsaert.
Leaps of faith moments happen often throughout our lives.
We acknowledge the impact our cumulative experiences have on our perception and action during important events.
As we move forward in time, we pause to show gratitude for these experiences that give us courage to take a chance.
Looking out over vast grasslands, the tiny insect serves as a reminder that a leap can be physical or symbolic.
The grasshopper catapults wildly from a single blade fluttering and flapping without abandon.
During that instant, clearly anything can happen.
Grasshoppers' urge to jump and move from one leaf to the other is their way of living life one leap at a time.
As we all move forward from the moment, we give thanks for what's been given us and trust that our next choice
will be wildly honest and true to self like a jump by the adventurous grasshopper.
The grasshopper can stay safely on a blade of grass and instead opts to jump. Risking everything to see what else can be out there.

"The acrylic paintings are a result of constant observing and dreaming. Realizing that most everything has been done before, I try to be as original and unique as possible. Some paintings come to me in a dream. When I can't place the image wether I've seen it somewhere, it becomes a templet for further exploring the following days. Stories develop as I paint. They become movies from my mind. Movie stills with imaginary western themes. Unexpected scenes with expected acts by strong women.
