Listening to Eric Clapton, and Tears In Heaven, you realize that his explanation is well chosen: An obsession is where something will not leave your mind. Ese’s challenge reveals that I have many obsessions: My children, my dogs, orchids, my work, photography… I read somewhere that to cure one obsession – get another. But mine seldom go away…they pile up. I’m convinced that they are all of the same origin.

I believe that all my work explores the human desire or obsession for utopias, and the structure of all my works is the search for utopias lost and rediscovered.

Exquisite images to accompany your beautiful words Ann Christine! My obsessions seem to pile up too 🙂
Thank you, Madhu. I try to think of it as …without obsessions maybe life wouldn’t be that fun!
Your photos are absolutely stunning, Ann Christine and both quotes echoe in them in that fragile, peaceful, yet strong and…crisp at the same time way. A post for soul…
A truly wonderful comment, Ese, thank you!
These images are stunning Ann Christine – each one special, and as a painter all a dream scene.
Mary, thank you so much for a beautiful comment! You are the artist and I love your voice.
