Inevitable Change

After last night’s rainfall, a cold chill hangs in the air.  Dark clouds warn of impending weather disturbances. Mother Nature broods over her unsettled disposition, suggesting that she is not yet finished delivering rain and clouds. A thunderous surf echoes in the distance as it moves rapidly to shore.  Peaks and rolling motion become mesmerizing to view; while roaring surf speaks of the ocean’s power.

Today the ocean is powerful, displaying forceful determination; while other days it whispers gently hiding its true strength.  Life seems to echo the ocean, presenting disturbances that demand immense inner strength and determination to press onward.  While other stretches of time stroke us with gentleness and peace.  It is these moments that lend a break from life’s ever-changing moods: embracing our soul so that we may prepare for inevitable changes ahead.

Powell’s Point Park,Nova Scotia

I painted the study for “Inevitable Change” on the last weekend the park was open. This is a studio painting I completed from my study and also a few digitals. It was a very cold and moody morning when I set up to paint.

While at the park I began to realize how in sync I have become with it.  It has a pulse I feel emotionally connected to and I have watched and experienced its many changing moods dictated by mother nature. There is a feeling of comfort and familiarity, with a sprinkle of intrigue all mixed into one.

Oh how I love this park and what mother nature has shared with me when I am quiet and attune to her offerings. It is an experience I feel great gratitude towards and look forward to capturing many more moments in the park! It is my hope that you experience some of this feeling through my sharing of words and paint.
