Dreams Lost - The Molting II

This painting was inspired by a drawing I did back in the summer of '98, after my first trip to NYC, The Molting I wanted to show how at that time I couldn't "fly" on the wings of my dreams, but this was only temporary, as with birds that molt, losing their feathers temporarily. Here, I have expanded on that idea, and show "fate" blowing the feathers, old dreams, out to make room for new dreams.
