Soaring


This painting was inspired by my son Cephas after a bad experience he had been through at school. After speaking of what had happened he decided to let his anger go and rise above what had happened.

I used the sunset to reflect how at peace he had felt after talking about it. The landscape reflects change in himself and the people around him. Lastly, I added two birds to represent Cephas and myself soaring above the troubles he faced and dealt with so beautifully.

Acrylic on canvas.

    I really like your painting. It has a sense of quiet that's overwhelmingly powerful. Nice work!
