This painting began with a simple commission: a woman and her small companion.

From there, it slowly found its own path.

In the finished image, a woman stands beneath chestnut trees with a small black dog beside her.

We never see her face.

Instead, we stand behind her, looking across a quiet road toward a house nestled among trees.

The house feels strangely familiar.

Perhaps it is a home.

Perhaps it is a memory.

Perhaps it is something not yet lived.

Between her and the house lies only a road.

A few steps.

Yet she remains still.

Somewhere along the way, the road became the painting's quiet centre.

Not a barrier.

A threshold.

A place where possibility gathers.

A moment before movement.

A dream before it is lived.

Angie's Dream.

Nothing moves.

Everything begins.
