April Blooming

Awareness is only the beginning.

Once we realize what we want, what we need, or what no longer belongs in our lives, there comes a moment when we have to do something with that knowledge.

We begin to move.

We make decisions. We take risks. We leave things behind. We give ourselves permission to grow into someone we have perhaps always been meant to become.

This is what April Blooming represents to me.

The cherry blossom felt like the perfect symbol for this stage – beautiful, fleeting and impossible to force. You can create the conditions for something to grow, but you cannot rush the moment when it finally blooms.

Just like the background of this painting. I surrendered the first part of the process to the snow and allowed the pigments to move wherever they wanted. Only afterwards did I return with intention, painting each blossom into the unpredictable landscape.

We can’t control everything that happens to us. But we can decide what we do with what happens.

A painting about finding the courage to grow into the person you are becoming.
