Artist's Comments

Insperation
-------------
"...humans always try to hide from themselves the certanty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to do the best things in their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring, to go much further in their daily conquests, because then they would have nothing to loose, for death is inevitable."
"Death is our constant companion, and it is death that gives each person's life its true meaning."
Taken from "The Pigramage" by Paulo Coelho

Description
----------------------------
This woman (in blue) having accepted that death (woman in red) will always be right behind her is able to go out in searth of and find her dreams (the butterflies).

On a side note, Im not to sure if I like the title :( so I may be forced to change it at a later date.
Hope this inspires someone to live their life and follow their dreams.

nice composition :)
the scene is lovely and the meaning behind it is interesting.
i also like that you have added reflections in the water.
there is only one suggestion that i have for you: everything is covered in warm light, whereas the blue dreamer seems to have a different source of cold light. maybe you could adjust the hue a bit or slightly paint over it so that it matches the warm tones.
other than that it is beautiful!
thank you for using my stock photo [link]

I actually made her tinted blue to show that she had a better understanding and connection with the water, which is the symbol of the goddess in Paulo Coelho's books. I didnt really want to explain every detail of why I did everything because I think that takes away from the feelings that people get when they look at art in general.

I am glad you like it though :)
