This painting is for those who turn to nature in times of reflection.

Break Open celebrates the intimate relationship between land, sky, and water. As part of the collection titled, A Walk With Water, it responds to the transformative powers of walking near bodies of water. Water’s delicate balance of peace and power creates an opportunity for contemplation and reflection for those who wander past.

The abstract blue stretches into darker and darker blues hinting that there is always more to be said, to be experienced, and to be learnt.

It is the type of painting you can fall more deeply into every time you look at it.
