Resilience*

These words came to me as I contemplated my next painting. Sometimes, the path ahead clears to those determined souls out there, have you ever felt that? I know I have. Stay fast to your path, and connect with your unwavering, unstoppable resilience. I created this painting during the pandemic of 2020 to help identify and celebrate my own resilience. Ironically, this painting was a struggle for me. Third time was the charm. The ominous sky tells the tale, but the tree still stands through it all.
