"Finding my way"

I painted this towards the end of last year, at a time when my best friend was going through a very bad time after the loss of her husband. It is hard to say if the emotions around her situation influenced the mood of this painting, certainly not on a conscious level but I am often surprised at how much of what is going on in my life and the lives of those close to me is able to filter through subconsciously into my work. In any case, the minute she saw it she related to the lost and lonely figure battling against the storm, and bought it!
