This painting represents a feeling that I have felt most of my life. I have never had the sense of belonging, of having a real home, of having solid roots. In this painting, I am in a life raft adrift at sea rudderless, without oars. The rough sea represents my life and the blue sky represents possibilities, a hope that maybe tomorrow things will change. I am adrift and completely detached from anything and anyone. I am seeking the place where I belong. I realize I have no control over anything but the very basics of being a human. I just survive as best that I can as I seem to be endlessly adrift. I have never belonged anywhere, or any place, and it bothers me some but in reality I don't know what I am missing, if anything.
