Sold - Hope

Artist: LC Neill
Title: “Hope”
Medium: Oil on Panel
Dimensions: 6″x6″

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!!

I’m sorry this painting is already sold. If you would like to find out about custom word paintings click here.

    Hello LC – thanks for visiting my blog today and commenting on my “Hope” painting. What a coincidence – I had no idea you also were doing this. Your words are wise and hopefully will have some outcome. As you say, hope on its own is not enough. On to the painting – I love the simplicity of the scrabble tiles and I like how you have treated the background in this series to give interest and resonance to the word.
