Looking back over my career in art I have to say that one of the most memorable paintings for me is this one shown: The far north.
When I painted this I was just venturing out into the full time world of art and it was a vast uncharted experience for me. i was nervous, terrified (actually) and yet I had all the excitement that any traveller in a strange land would have. I was venturing out to a landscape that could make me or break me. I left a secure job at a major financial institution and had a family/mortgage to be concerned about.
I received this painting back from an exhibition recently and all of those memories flooded through my mind.
I'm glad I made that move, five years later, no regrets and it has been a learning path every step of the way. I look forward to where it goes from here. I trust God every day for his provision and he has never let me down.
