Drift – IF

When I think of the word “drift” I automatically think of walking aimlessly, trying to find a place to call home. I guess that’s what a “drifter” is. But it’s not a word I hear often, but when I do, it has a sinister connotation to it.

But, I choose not to claim the word drifter as negative, in my romantic mind, a drifter is someone destine to walk finding solace in the walk and having no place that calls them home. Home is where they are at the time they are drifting through.

Let your feet, heart and mind drift, it’s call peace.

  2. that’s how you do it!! i had the same idea about drifters… but couldn’t put it down on paper… so decided on the elephant instead 😉 love the colours!! i’m imagining them drifting along a wonderful beach!

  4. This is so beautifully illustrated and I love your take on word as well. It really touches my heart. These feet have been some places and I feel that in this piece. Those dogs are talking. This is wonderful. Have a wonderful weekend my friend. You are the best! Your comments brought a big ol smile to my face this morning.

  11. Great take on this weeks theme! I love the feet and the idea behind it. It makes me wonder where they’ve been and where they are going……….

  17. I saw this earlier & was really impressed by it. I like that you used ‘drifting’ as in ‘drifters.’ The colors and shapes are great.

  20. I really like your take on drifting. I think of the word ‘drifter’ as more of an adventurer than a person without an aim in life. I’m quite envious of these types of people for their love for spontaneousity.

  23. Beautiful analogy, and I love the feet. Well, I love the entire image, but especially the feet. You’ve got great style.

  25. I love the concept of letting yourself drift and that being peace.
    The technique on this on is particularly lovely as well. I love the texture.

  27. Nicely put! I always think it would be nice to live out in nature and have no worries about how to pay the bills, but there is no place like coming home to a nice warm bed.

  31. love the barefooted one…
    “Let your feet, heart and mind drift, it’s call peace”:
    drifting is to me the mind going barefoot.
    very nice.

  32. What a great interpretation! Very nice work.
    I think I’ll just drift around in barefeet in my apartment for a while.
    And thanks for dropping by my blog.
