The Waves of Life – Framed Acrylic Painting

Creating this piece came to me at a very unique time in our world, 2020 Covid-19. Covid had just hit our area and the world seemed to had slowed down like never before, everything we loved was at risk and nothing seemed to make sense….

In my case, it was the 3rd year since I had left the corporate world to work in our business full time which was at that time at risk, along with everyone close to us and our families and friends across the glove. The feelings of uncertainty and fear creeped like never before.

During our quarantine time, I decided to make this painting, after almost 9 years since putting the paint brushes away after the birth of my son and my busy life taking me away from creativity, but the the universe forced us all to slow down.

We decided to adopt a Bearded Dragon that needed a backdrop for his cage, and this painting came to me, I was so excited to simply have a reason and the time for my self, to paint again… I didn’t realize how much I needed that and how much it was going to change my life in a positive way.

The feelings of happiness, clarity, gratitude and Purpose I have experienced since this painting have changed my life forever… My wish for whoever buys this painting, is that it inspires those feelings for you in your life.

I had never experienced such a clear thought and decision in my mind, since this painting, the Purposeful Dreamer Gallery and its artists and dreamers continues to evolve along with my life and my passion to bring this inspiring idea of creativity with Purpose into the world.

The waves remind us that we will always have those ups and downs in life, that we cant control the ripples of constant change in our world but we can learn to control our inner world, our emotions, our thoughts and our actions to be the best version of our selves not just for us but for those close to us and maybe even the world… 

 Nature reminds us that is always there to help us heal, to find peace in our lives outside of technology and all the every day distractions of life. 

The Sun and the Moon represent the good and the bad that is part of our lives, that at times, doesn’t make sense but it always opens the doors for us to learn and grow. A Perspective to the the unexplainable…
