This painting is of a young man deep in thought. He sits by the ocean, watching the starry night, completely at peace with where he is at in his life. He looks out at his amazing future, within reach if he stays true to himself. His gold, eagle wings will help him soar to great heights.
Life is full of twists, turns, highs and lows – it’s how we deal with challenges that truly defines us.
In this piece, green flying fish jump and twirl around him. They symbolise his emotions, beliefs, convictions and ideas. A spiral is a universal symbol of life. It reminds us to flow, trust our instincts and follow what comes naturally. You know what’s best for your life, so always be guided by your intuition and seek your own council.
As in all my work, the turtles in this painting represent gratitude. If he travels through life with a positive outlook, while being grateful for his experiences, he will flourish in life.
He sits under a clear night sky. The stars act as guiding lights, helping him keep things in perspective. He learns humility by keeping his mind open, embracing Mother Nature, and realising that there is something out there bigger than himself.
The colours in this painting were inspired by Earth; the colours an eagle sees as he flies high up in the sky. Eagles can soar to great heights, looking down and seeing the beauty that is our planet. Colours, shapes, sparkle, creatures, contours, land and sea. The eagle sees it all.
