Even through the struggles of 2020, each of us has sought for peace and stability amidst all the new uncertainties. Inspired by the many hikes I’ve taken this year, I chose to capture a friend napping along the side of a hiking trail. This person isn’t in a rush, but is trusting they will make it to the top of the mountain in the right time. I find I need that reminder daily, to pace myself and take breaks, trusting I will complete my goals in due time. But in order to finish the ‘hike’, breaks are necessary. I hope this painting inspires others to enjoy the gift of nature and to trust through patience, rest, and peace.
