In this, "Orange Wall Decor I Wish I Were A Melon Canvas Print" I take a sideways look at the world from the perspective of a wishing orange! (At least on the surface)
How many times have you wished for something?
- Wished you could win the lottery?
- Wished you were thinner?
- Wished your ass wasn't so big in those jeans?
- Wished your boss liked you more?
- Wished you were Kim Kardashian (or anyone other than yourself)?
- Wished you lived in the country?
- Wished you lived in the city?
- Wished it wasn't raining?
- Wished your significant other knew that candles weren't just something you retrieve from the basement during a blackout....
And on and on...
Well, you aren't alone!
We all do that.
There tend to be a few 'hot' topics that are common for all us (weight, money and relationships tend to feature highly).
It's all very 'normal'.
But sometimes 'normal' isn't very healthy.
In this canvas we have a whole feast of oranges. Hundreds and hundreds of oranges. Some lined up at the back. Some front and center and looking absolutely delicious.
(Orange art! You gotta love it!)
Towards the right we have one slice of orange expressing the thought:
"I Wish I Were A Melon"
Slightly crazy right?
But is it any crazier then us 'wishing' we were someone else, or that some 'magic event' (like winning the lottery for example. That's a tens of million to one shot. We are more likely to be hit by a meteorite!) would pull us out of our 'normal' existence and somehow make things different?
ALL OF US NEED TO MOVE ON FROM WISHING!!!
There is an amazing quote by T.E Lawrence (of 'Lawrence of Arabia' fame) that sums up the crucial difference I'm getting at with this canvas:
"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."
Be a Dreamer of the Day!
That is what I wholeheartedly and lovingly 'wish' for you.
I hope that this orange wall art canvas on your wall can remind you of the magnificent you.
Of the power. Of the dreams for sure. But not in a willow-the-wisp, gone with the wind kind-of way.
You are all the succulence you need.
You don't need to be a melon.
You just need to be the best orange you can possibly be!
