Barefoot In My Dreams

2018

Artist Comments
I wanted to capture that quiet moment of simply being still and breathing in the salt air while watching the clouds dance in the sky. I like contrast in life and in art. Life is always moving, and sometimes I just close my eyes and I see this and it puts everything into perspective. The edges are painted to have the look of linen and it arrives ready to hang.

About the Artist
Faith Taylor began her career as a self-taught mural artist in Los Angeles during the late 1980s. She was commissioned to paint over 2,000 murals in homes and businesses across Southern California before switching to canvas 14 years ago. Currently, Faith’s guiding inspiration is the concept of a far-off horizon. She finds hope and comfort in looking to the distance, to the future. “Horizons inspire me,” the artist says. “I find depth comforting as it not only gives my eyes a place to wander, but my mind a place to go and relax or explore.” Faith creates depth in her oil paintings by applying multiple layers of oil paint and glazes, waiting for days in between to allow the paint to dry. Faith's methodical layering technique is reflected in the patient and thoughtful mood of her artwork. The muted, earthy palette she employs encourages the viewer to meditate on each painting, gazing deeply to the abstracted horizon line.
