Self-Portrait with Phoenix Flight

Acrylic on Canvas

August 2016

This painting was created months after Peacekeeper when I entered a period of my life where painting was not a possibility for me because I was moving and staying at different locations, unable to set up a permanent location for an easel. That suddenly changed in at the start of summer 2016 when I finally found a place to call my own. I was full of so much positive energy it was for the first time in what seemed like millenia. I could see a clear and positive horizon. To capture this feeling I painted a self portrait of my arrival on the island of Sanctuary.

The wreck of my Raft laid across the beach before me as I sat peacefully on my own and contemplated the many paths that still stood in front of me.
