Medium: Oil on Panel

Alone heed warning.
Plans, actions, and persistence,
realize HOPE’s intent.

My Haiku above summarizes some of my thoughts about hope.

Alone, hope is clearly not a strategy, however, coupled with some smart ideas, a strong plan, putting things into action, and persistence; I believe things can be influenced to some degree. To what degree depends on the effort – the number of supporting people/efforts. The greater the effort, the more likely it will be realized.

Hmm I started writing this post and discovered it got deep very quickly. My mind was all over the board – the idea of hope, things you can control, things you can’t, spiritual influences and beliefs, what it would be like without hope, greek mythology and hope, and other things. I have deleted most of it under the modus operandi that I’m not a creative writer, therefor my philosophy on this topic may not come across clearly.

So best I leave interpreting the painting “HOPE” as you see it through your eyes.

I “hope” you enjoy it!!
