Staying Ahead of the Darkness — Acrylic on 14x11 canvas
 
There are seasons when simply staying ahead of the darkness feels like an act of courage.
In this softly textured abstract, small white clouds continue toward the light while a heavier darkness gathers behind them. Subtle metallic tones shift with changing light, bringing warmth and movement to an otherwise quiet palette.
 
Staying Ahead of the Darkness was inspired by the experience of continuing forward through depression, sadness and self-doubt—not pretending the darkness isn't there, but refusing to surrender the entire sky to it.
 
Sometimes hope isn't a dramatic breakthrough.
Sometimes it is simply continuing toward the light.
