A friend recently got that tattooed and we talked about the nautical meaning. It stuck with me as I was painting this one.
Also inspired by spring peonies—those fierce + fragile blooms, the delicate + the durable of them.
The way they have to weather those spring storms, take a little bit of a beating in heavy rains.
The bloom and the ballast.
The color that opens even when the sky darkens.
This one is part of NEW TERRAIN—my spring '25 collection about new paths, journeys, and becoming.
