The One (Seaside Collection)
I am thrilled to present, "The One," a vibrant watercolor depicting a pelican with its wings wide open, thrashing the water in pursuit of one fish amidst a sea of endless possibilities. When thinking of ideas for a new piece, I knew I wanted to add a sea bird to my Seaside Collection. I wanted more than just a pelican perched on something and I challenged myself to create a scene that is alive with energy and motion. I also wanted this painting of a pelican to tell a story that would not only resonate with me, but also with others.
I relate deeply with this piece, drawing parallels between the pelican and the fish’s pursuit for ‘The One’ in a vast sea, a metaphor for the complex world of dating, especially in your 50s. It's about catching someone's attention while staying open and vulnerable, letting them come close enough to assess compatibility and intentions, while protecting yourself from getting hurt and doing your best to not hurt someone else. It is a delicate, emotional journey of mutual discovery—ensuring just enough closeness to see if they are truly 'The One’ and having the courage and strength to move on if they are causing harm or are just simply not the one. I have always believed the person you choose to spend the rest of your life with, ‘The One,’ is the most important decision you’ll ever make!
This scene leaves you to ponder - is this the one that is caught, the one that got away, or perhaps the one that came into our life for an entirely different reason or for just a season? I invite you to complete the title for yourself, 'The One That _______’.
