I love the beach. The endless horizon of no plans and timeless reality. All there is, dragons, moats, sand castles and the sea. This is part of a series of paintings of motherhood. I start by having a painting lesson on our kitchen table. It started because we are together all the time and I could only embrace their hands on my painting. But then it became a process. They paint first, then paint on top; like mothers do. I oversee the grand play of fun with snack time, bed time, dinner and school. I give grammar to their sentences and impose composition on their vivid and colorful world. I see even more clearly with each painting I do; into their world. Into their play. They create whole worlds. They play in language, mentioning realities of their characters to each other, “and then Bong Bong has super powers, jet pack and flies to the tree…” and then the next will sprout wings and blast off to the next adventure. The mechanics of their play facilitates me. I am privileged to see it. I remember one day, like the flick of a switch, the magic of make-believe left me. I was no longer in the Caribbean Sea on a raft, rather a rowing machine in my mothers house. Their maturity switch has not been turned and I am here, just for a moment, to bare witness to their childhood.
