Fallen Twigg
“Fallen Twigg” is deeply personal and captures the profound beauty and spirit found not only within nature, but also within the natural order of life. In the foreground stands the focal point of the piece—a large weathered tree trunk, lying horizontally with grace and grit. Its pale, smooth surface carries the etchings of time, while the twisted branches add a rich, organic texture that speaks to the silent strength and endurance found in nature's design.
As your gaze moves beyond the trunk, fields of golden grasses stretch out towards the horizon, suggesting tales of the seasons passing. In the background, a line of trees stands vigil, steadfast and unmoving, marking the boundary where earth meets sky. Overhead, a cloudy sky broods, but through the muted gray emerges a glowing patch of light—a promise of the sun hidden behind the clouds, casting a soft, serene illumination over the landscape. This gentle glow evokes a sense of calm and the passage of time, inviting a moment of reflection and inner peace.
The inspiration for Fallen Twigg was born during a difficult time in my life as my husband entered palliative care. Just like a strong, robust tree that once stood tall and straight, but had gracefully succumbed to time, this strong presence stretched toward the inevitable sunset. This painting became a tribute to that strength, a visual manifestation of life's delicate balance and an enduring reminder of nature's cycle.
In creating Fallen Twigg, I found uniqueness in the process, with each application of pastel reflecting not only the landscape I was observing but also the emotional landscape I was experiencing. The subtle blends and hues became a language of their own, allowing me to express the quiet, but deep emotions I felt as I was pondering life's beginnings and endings.
Fallen Twigg stands as an emblem of hope, resilience, and the serenity that comes from acceptance. It is a reminder that, in the face of life's transitions, there is a profound dignity and grace in reaching for the light beyond the clouds. It speaks to the heart's ability to find peace through change and the enduring beauty that exists within each moment of our journey.
