This painting is much lighter in colour that most of my work, and I attempted to also make it more neutral, but the colour found its own way in. Created with so many layers of acrylic, oil pastel, modelling place and gloss to create a textured and emotional piece. The meaning of this work is that no matter how dark or difficult things feel, goodness, clarity, and hope eventually will break through. Just as sunlight finds tiny openings in clouds, forests, or cracks in walls, light in life—joy, truth, healing, love—has a way of returning to us.
