“Oasis”
Acrylic on Canvas – May 2015

Waterfalls are one of the hardest subjects for me to paint. Not that I don’t like them, but a lot of troublesome memories from high school occurred in a waterfall setting. Lately (and finally with some help) I’ve been trying to come to terms with these memories and the feelings that go with them.

While these memories cut deep, I know that once I overcome them that I’ll be stronger for it. And this part of my heart which seems dry and cracked isn’t really. Beneath it is a wellspring that will come gushing out.. in torrents of tears. But in time, I hope that someday that area which seems a deserted part of my heart will become a rich and fruitful oasis that brings me happiness.
