Stormy Sail - Original Mixed-Media Painting by Steve SlimmOriginal mixed media painting on paper (size 35cm x 25cm) When a variety of forces come together all at once, at times it can feel overwhelming. I know this from personal experience. It reminds me of how it might feel out there in a small boat, in the vastness of the ocean, when a storm hits in. There is a vortex and there is intentity. And then there is the passing this too will pass. And finally there is a return to calm and peace. Amen to that.
