When I created Steady as the Wind Calls, I wanted to capture that sacred moment of stillness before action—the space where balance meets intuition, where the soul listens before it moves.
The kingfisher, perched atop a tower of carefully stacked stones, embodies this knowing. It does not rush. It does not falter. It waits until the wind whispers the right moment to take flight. As I layered the deep blues, warm golds, and soft ethereal textures, I felt the quiet strength of this scene, a reminder that true power comes not from constant motion but from perfect alignment.
This painting is part of my Finding Centre series, where I explore the delicate relationship between stillness and movement, trust and surrender. My hope is that Steady as the Wind Calls becomes a touchstone in your space—a reminder that when you are truly centred, the next step will reveal itself with ease and certainty.
