Images That Inspire Me
The Voyage of Youth by Thomas Cole
Taking in this image for the first time, I was very moved by its fantasylike effect. At first all I saw were two young figures, a boy and a girl, sailing off in a tranquil lake surrounded by pristine forest groves. The beauty of the foreground alone was enough to captivate me. But when I saw the white castle in the distance, I truly felt that the idealistic dreaming of youth had been captured.
Aladdin - The Flying Carpet Scene
Aladdin and Jasmine are flying through the night sky together, above the whole world, on a magical journey that is the physical incarnation of their feelings. In her eyes is a hope and wonder that only a pure, ingenuous child could experience.
Best Friends by Mary Baxter St. Clair
This artist captured the security of childhood and the important role of animals in a young person's imagination.
The Feeling Of Freedom in The Shawshank Redemption
This scene from The Shawshank Redemption fills me with a deep appreciation for freedom. It shows that something as simple and beautiful as the rain can convey the excitement of being alive.
