Winds of Renewal

This painting captures a moment of reflection and renewal, symbolized by the hands emerging from a flurry of wind-swept paper cranes. The cranes, often associated with peace and healing, represent the release of past burdens and the pursuit of new beginnings. The boat resting in the grass suggests a pause—a quiet interlude—amid the vastness of the prairie fields and the stillness of the lake. It invites the viewer to contemplate their own journey and the interplay between movement and stillness. The expansive sky stretching across the canvas evokes the openness of the future, while the landscape serves as a reminder of the grounding power of nature.

In this work, I explore the themes of transition, renewal, and the beauty of reflection as we navigate life’s winds and waters, finding peace in both the journey and the moments of rest.
