The sounds of waves rolling onto a beach with seagulls overhead fill my ears as I paint this scene.

What thoughts pass through my mind as I paint ? What passes through your mind looking at this painting?

\u201cRide the Wave\u201d is one phrase that sticks in my mind. Sometimes we seem to be on a ride, almost like a rollercoaster and want to get off. But the ride can\u2019t stop…we are on the ride and need to \u201cride the storm\u201d to the end.
\u00a0
\u201cLife isn\u2019t about waiting for the storm to pass,\u00a0
it\u2019s about learning to dance in the rain\u201d<\/span><\/em>

Sometimes we all need to be reminded to make the best of\u00a0 the life we\u2019ve been given with all its frustrations and limitations, finding purpose and fulfilment despite the pain and exhaustion that the waves of life throw my way. It\u2019s about living in the moment and finding acceptance and happiness right now without the judgment of the past or expectations for the future.<\/p>\nLife is not about waiting\u2014it\u2019s about living.

There is a peaceful dependability of the sun setting over the horizon. A knowledge that there is stability even amidst the storm. The gulls crying, the waves rising, will all give way once again to peaceful waters<\/p>\nLife is about changing, nothing ever stays the same.
\u200b<\/span><\/em>
We ride the waves of our lives and try to make the most of each moment in the firm knowledge that the waves will subside and the storm will eventually end. The awe-inspiring colours of a sunset are a glimpse of the hope for a future, whether here on this earth or across the waters…
