Hope Springs Eternal Collection

My latest collection of paintings was inspired by hope and the beauty of spring. The flowers of springtime give a sense that a new, vibrant season has begun, as we leave behind the winter, where blossoms have yet to emerge. Isn’t that a metaphor for the seasons of life? We all experience times where we see no fruit, and the landscape looks bleak. Hope is one virtue that keeps us moving towards brighter moments that eventually turn into brighter days. This type of hope is not just about optimism or a trite Hallmark card inscription, it is intrinsically tied to two other virtues: faith and love. Practiced with faith and love, hope springs eternal; it is everlasting. By painting flowers, I imagined eternal spring, capturing a flower’s beauty that can be enjoyed all year long. May the flowers be a reminder that even if our hopes are never realized, there will always be renewed life all around us just waiting to be embraced, with gratitude.
