Rendered in muted mauve, ochre and softened blue green, this painting depicts a broken seashell with the distant ocean visible through its opening—a quiet symbol of hope. It reflects a turning inward, where illusions dissolve and the act of letting go gives rise to a deeper, more peaceful way of being.
For more thoughts behind this painting, please visit the entry titled "The Opening" which can be found on my Journal page, here on this site.
The painting extends around the outer edges of the canvas, no framing is necessary.
