On Top of the World

Lil has a memory of us dancing on our (solid recycled rimu) dining table in Seatoun, New Zealand.

Ha ha, I have memories of her dancing on the table!

I do remember the feeling, though, intense joy! The feeling that almost involuntarily makes you want to dance, and is so powerful that it makes you want to dance on the highest thing in the room! Some people experience this feeling when they are drunk. 😂

That’s what this painting means to me.

Dancing on top of the world with my daughter.

If creating a playlist of songs for this painting, I’d pop these two on it:

Top of the World by The Carpenters—the love that I found the moment my little daughter came into my life—has put me on top of the world.

The Long And Winding Road The Beatles—will always lead me back to you. Not to mention treasuring every second of the long and winding road we’ve already been on.

On Top of the World

Acrylic on canvas 30.5 x 30.5 cms (12×12 inches) by Arwen Munro, December 2024-January 2025. Painted at The Music Box, Ambleside, West Vancouver, Canada.

A different style for you today, a painting inspired by the first Australians.

Have a wonderful day! ☀️
