"In My Dreams" by Nancy M. Young $500

Artist Statement: "Why are you looking at me? You glance in my direction, then walk away. I pace this spot all day, making a well worn path to nowhere, longing to be back in the wild where I belong. Only in my dreams am I free to roam and climb wherever I want to go. Only in my dreams can I live side by side with all the magnificent creatures that long ago lived together in the natural realm. Only in my dreams I remember my cubs happily playing in the lush green surroundings. But then I open my eyes and see the chains that surround me." You can break the chain. You can open your eyes and hearts and really see what is happening to helpless creatures like me. You can break the chain. You can work to support legislation that protects all animals. You can break the chain." Created using acrylic and chains by Artist Nancy M. Young of Lake St Louis, MO
