For me, this painting isn't just about capturing a beautiful scene but about exploring our relationship with challenging transitions. Nature provides the perfect metaphor—constantly changing, enduring, and ultimately finding pathways forward, even through the most difficult terrain.
Have you ever noticed how the ocean's tide cycles mimic life? Low tide brings solitude, when everything is calm and the tidepools sit quietly under the sun. High tide brings connection, as each pool is swept into the vast ocean again. And then there's the ever-comforting renewal when the waters retreat and leave behind a refreshed shoreline.
