Hope – 16″ x 20″

Discovering Hope

Hope is a contemplative 16″ x 20″ oil and acrylic painting that captures the quiet strength found in perseverance. A woman tilts her head back, her eyes fixed on the swirling blues of the sky. Encased in a protective dome adorned with traditional patterns and colors—rich dark blues, warm oranges, and earthy browns—she seems both grounded and yearning for freedom. A lone white dove flies above, symbolizing peace and renewal. Through this imagery, the artist explores the tension between present challenges and the promise of brighter tomorrows, inviting viewers to embrace the transient nature of hardship and the enduring power of hope.
