"Resolution"

acrylic on canvas, unframed, 24" x 36"

Storms represent a powerful metaphor for change. While they are at times thrilling, they can also be terrifying and destructive. And,because they are a force of nature, they remain one of the few things in this world that mankind has been unable to control.

Most of us don't really care for change and certainly not catastrophic change, but it happens to us anyway. We lose our jobs, those we love, fall ill for reasons we cannot understand. It is a terrible place to be. But as I grow older I am believing more and more that it is just such events that move us off one path and onto another. Change brings new choices, new experiences along with the struggle and heartache and a resolution of how we used to be.
