Awakening
This sunny painting is my tribute to how the beauty of nature can at times overpower the most negative state of mind. When I was a young woman (represented here by the figure seated on the bench), I was in the depths of despair when I sat outdoors on a day much like this one. It gives me shivers to this day to remember how gently yet persistently, nature intruded on my black thoughts - to the point where I felt my heart fill with joy.
My life turned around on that day.
This Dad and his little girl were enjoying this spectacular fall scene at Puntledge Park in Courtenay, BC.
