Goodbye Bali
Inspiration To Overcome GriefI felt inspired to paint this touching portrait of a woman leaving behind her country for America after her loving mother suddenly dies. I believe that sharing her story on canvas is great inspiration for many people who suffer loss of home and family.
This beautiful woman, lived a life of giving her all to family, friends and anyone in need. She was there for everyone, but when her mother died, she felt alone because of the closeness she had with her mother.
The painting depicts a woman standing on the sandy shore of Bali while becomeing a part of the blue waters. Her face is a mask of sorrow and longing to bring back the past, yet there is also a quiet strength and resilience in her expression. She holds a bouquet of vibrant, tropical flowers in her hands, each petal bursting with color and life to signify the beauty and joy of her environment.The sun hangs low in the sky, casting a warm golden light that bathes the ocean in a soft, golden glow. Ready to let go of her bouquet of flowers, she realizes a sense of peace and acceptance. She's ready to leave behind her homeland and begin her journey to America.
Overall, I wanted this painting to capture a poignant moment of remembrance and reflection, inviting viewers to honor my friends memory and cherish the precious moments they share with the ones they love.
