SOLITUDE

Solitude a new painting by Dorsey McHugh

SOLITUDE (8×8/oil on canvas)

None of us wants to be alone all the time. We need connection. There is no connection without vulnerability. I am learning some of this for the first time. When I was small, I spent a great deal of time alone. My life as a child was not necessarily happy. But, it was rich. Because I spent so much time in my own company, my imagination was highly developed. Story became my companion. There were few restrictions on where I roamed about our tiny farm. As I wandered, saying hello to the chickens and checking out my favorite places, I sang at the top of my lungs. Sometimes my music was so poignant it made me cry. Literally. When I ask people if they sing when they are alone, they often tell me they do. Hardly anyone ever remembers crying as they sing. So now you know this about me. Does it add to the picture my words have painted? This is a part of who I am. We are all, when removing one layer after another, made up of stories. What are your stories? Maybe it’s time for you to share them.
