(gouache and ink on paper/April 2008)


Every time little Angus turned his eyes to the sky and saw those sparkling pieces of silver,that were stars,blinking back at him...it filled his whole heart with hope.Hope that anything was possible.Hope....that if you truly reach for it,nothing is ever too far.Even for a little mouse like he was.
It was truly a great feeling,that no matter how insignificant he might have appeared to the world,that barely recognised his existence,every dream was his own and made to come true if he so wished.

Angus had never in his life seen the sea.But when he gazed at the endless deep blue sky at night,that was what he imagined the sea would look like.
With no beginning and no end...
You might think that a little mouse´s life is all but exciting and adventurous but Angus did not need to travel far or discover undiscovered places to find adventure.Adventure was in his heart and therefore everywhere he went and all that he saw.

Nothing and no one could ever take away the wonder he saw in the smallest of things.Things that others seemed to take for granted.Things that seemed..ordinary.
And thats why he spent hours every night dreaming himself into the sea of sparkling silver stars,not wishing he was somewhere else...but feeling overjoyed just to be where he was
