In an effort to find peace in my choice to become a full time artist i had to accept that its possible that things i love may be lost in the process. This painting represented the letting go of my previous life. A flooded world represents the end of my IT career and the birds represent a peaceful departure of my family and I into the future. If i only knew then what i know now, would i have done it differently?

This painting was also an album cover for Ryan Lutton, an ambient improv guitarist. His music fits the piece to a tee.
