Chickadees in Flight – Trust the Journey | Original Oil Painting

Creating this series wasn’t easy.
False starts.
Paint scraped away.
Trying again, only to start over.
 
Self-doubt was loud, but in the middle of the mess, I realized growth isn’t tidy.
It’s courageous.
Demanding.
Worth it.
 
That’s what these two chickadees remind me of. Rising together, their reflections ripple across the water — imperfect, yet still in motion.
 
They don’t wait for the perfect moment.
They simply trust the journey.
 
This original oil painting layers soft sky tones, water reflections, and the gentle lift of two chickadees in flight.
 
A piece to remind you that even in the uneven, there is beauty in moving forward.
