Am I having fun yet? I am hoping some of Tinker Bell's pixie (star) dust will fall on me soon and make this challenge all right!
I have tweeked the composition once again! Arg! Not having live models or much reference material other than imagination and brain muscle is a BIT frustrating! So that being said I will try to achieve a visual dialogue using 3 colors, whimsical characters, Peter Pan, Wendy, their shadows, and Tinker Bell and star- pixie dust to explore light to dark-dark to light death-life symbolism... magic realism.
Oh boy! Here We Go once again!

It's going to be awesome Debbie, can't wait to see the result !!!
I finished my artist statement and submitted it today with my label information. I think it is OK. I am enjoying the process now. I am hoping the painting will be dry by the 15th. If it is still wet I will display it for the day and take it home with me that afternoon and deliver it to Malaga Cove Library on the 17th.
"To die will be an awfully big adventure"-J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan.
Theme: Live life to its' fullest each and every day.
Wendy reaches up to join the ballet in flight with Peter Pan - a life filled with adventures. Tinker Bell uses her wand to sprinkle pixie dust to make magic happen.
The Light from Tinker Bell's wand reveals the shadows behind the two. Peter Pan's shadow, his alter ego with a mind of its own, performs his own ballet and morphs into the Black Swan. His shadow understands that death is part of life's adventure, even to those who never grow up, and gives a small glimpse of Peter's future.
Wendy's older self-shadow casts a thought filled reflection of her life, grounded, but still with the loving memory of the dance.
"All the world is made of faith, and trust and pixie dust". -J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan.
"light to dark-dark to light death-life symbolism... magic realism" will give your work more visual and conceptual depth than I would have imagined from the title.
