Tomorrow And The Next Day
When you wake up in the morning, you either can’t wait to get started, or you dread it, because of the stuff you’re going to have to endure. Usually, what happens is your expectations are totally wrong. You’re great day turns into crap right after you leave the house, or your expectedly bad day turns out not really being that bad… you never know.
I wanted to convey those feelings in this painting: You are waiting in the water, and you see this wave coming. The wave is all of the stuff that makes for an awful day, and if it reaches you, it’s going to rip you apart. On the other side is the factor that protects you from all of that. It could be that someone unexpectedly bought breakfast tacos for you, the dreaded meeting being cancelled, or in my case... ending the day with Nicole, my wife. She is actually the one protecting me in this picture. She is the blonde fairy.
You really hope the wave passes you by. If it doesn’t, you have to deal with what’s in it. After that, there’s always the next day...
