Inspiration

I love this balance of living in the moment while conscious of both past and future. The present is a beautiful place to be. It’s so easy to become so focused on what’s still to come that we forget to celebrate and embrace the now. We forget all the possibility it contains. I’ve often heard people use phrases like “moments of panic” when they feel that they’re not doing a good enough job, or when things feel out of control. There is this western idea that any moment we’re not happy is underperformance or deficiency somehow. I don’t believe that’s a burden we’re meant to carry.

This painting feels like a moment poised with promise. It feels like the way we should live – aware of the possibilities and threats, while immensely grateful for the journey and beauty of the moment. It is a moment free from the stress of expectations and full of the simple and powerful joys available every day, even in the face of hardship.

This painting is dedicated to the memory of those who have gone ahead, whose legacies continue to bring us joy.

Framing Notes/FAQs:

Prints will be mailed rolled in a tube as we have found this to be the safest way to ensure the quality of your print upon arrival. All prints will come varnished for additional protection.

• May be hung on the stretcher bars without a frame
