"The Fools Who Dream"

By Taylor Asbury

18"x48" Oil Painting on Canvas

January 1, 2024.

When I go home, I watch movies, movies, and more movies. La La Land was the first and last movie I watched this summer, and as I expressed in my dramatics, "I am a changed person. How could one spend their life without seeing such a film?" I believe it to be true. There is too much emotion and passion evoked from this scene, so I put it into a painting, allowing the canvas to hold it all. The shot is beautiful, the feelings are heavy in this space. Jazz isn't dead. Love is real, love is complicated. "Fools" keep dreaming!
