Original artwork description:

"Walking Toward the Dream" transforms a simple coastal stroll into a powerful metaphor for aspiration and guidance. The figures—a man in a sturdy overcoat and a girl beside him—create a grounding presence, symbolizing the essential guidance and unwavering support found within a strong family unit. They are deliberately moving toward the distant, enduring tower, which now stands as a clear symbol of a life goal or a cherished vision. Their shared journey across the reflective wet sand suggests that the path to a dream requires both forward movement and the foundational security provided by those closest to us. The heavy, textured application of paint emphasizes the weight and reality of the journey, while the light-filled, expansive horizon hints at the unlimited possibility that awaits those who pursue their future together.
- oil painting on stretched canvas, ready to hang, all sides are painted.
