Original painting 'Birch Leading the Way' - 24 x 48"

I got a text from my teacher friend the other day:
"It’s been a heck of a day... and I still have four more to go before summer school ends. I’m not going to make it."
Oh, how I felt that. We’ve all had those days, haven’t we?
So I texted back:
"One step. Just one step. That’s all you need to keep going and leave today behind."
And I sent "Leading the Way" an original birch painting with a quiet path winding through it.
Why?
Well, after 25 years of owning a gallery, I’ve seen it again and again: someone walks in, stiff with stress, and then they spot a painting with a path. Their shoulders drop. Their breath softens. They disappear into that scene for a moment, and come out lighter.
 
That’s the kind of magic my friend needed.
Maybe it’s the kind you need too.
So let this be your gentle reminder:
Take one step.
Then another.
And let the path of quiet neutral colors—whether it's in front of you or on the wall—lead you forward, to where the better days live.
