Calm in the Eye of the Storm (Riding the Waves)

Here is Calm in the Eye of the Storm (Riding the Waves) Copyright 2008 Sheryl Brown, All Rights Reserved, a 16x20 acrylic painting I did after some serious massage and detox last month.

As often happens, I didn't consciously paint something I later saw--it looks like a seated figure in the center of the bubble, with a light shining down from above! (You may not be able to see it easily in this size.)

For me, I was just playing with swirling color, and as usual found my favorite themes of water and sky appearing beneath my paintbrush.

This is a great metaphor for life, isn't it? Even when circumstances can be challenging and even overwhelming, we can find a place of strength and peace within, and be able to weather it out. Here's to smooth sailing! --in one fashion or another!
