For as long as I can remember, "Good Thing" by Patty Larkin has been a constant companion, playing on repeat in my mind. Every time its melody drifts into my ears, I’m instantly transported to a world of long-distance journeys, filled with the thrill of adventure and the promise of new experiences. This song has a way of lifting my spirits and infusing me with a sense of joy and anticipation.

The painting I’ve created captures that very essence—the exhilaration of travel and the delight in discovering the unknown. It's a visual representation of the emotions stirred by the song, a celebration of the excitement and wonder that comes with exploring new horizons. Whether it’s the sight of an unfamiliar landscape or the feel of a fresh breeze on my face, this painting and the song together evoke a profound sense of happiness and wanderlust. They remind me that there’s always something beautiful and new waiting just around the corner, ready to be experienced and cherished.
