Using the colors of the harvest season to convey a feeling of richness and purifying transformation, this painting has everything to do with emotional stability and a steady spirit.

Equanimity is my daily struggle, elusive goal, and greatest desire all in one. Here, I convey this hope for mindful tranquility with gentle blues that rest upon a similarly colored background, while tender greens and rich ambers mingle with leaves of wine and navy.

Overwhelmingly palpable feelings are some of the greatest, most invaluable gifts of being human, but there are times that this gift can teeter into emotionally volatile territory. This painting serves as a reminder of the steady mindfulness that is always available within us, regardless of circumstance or season.
