The Road Home is an 8x10 oil painting completed in December 2022, capturing that familiar moment of returning—whether it’s to a place, a memory, or a state of mind. Set along a quiet country lane, the painting draws the eye down a tree-lined road dusted with the tones of late autumn or early winter.
The scene evokes the hush of a cold day—bare trees, fading grass, and the gentle bend of the road just out of sight. There’s no one in the frame, no signs, no distractions—just you and the path ahead. This is one of those paintings where I tried to say a lot with very little. The palette is subdued and earthy, layered with expressive brushwork to suggest motion, memory, and a bit of emotional residue.
Painted on a birch panel, this piece embraces texture and honesty—letting the wood’s subtle grain peek through in places. I think of it as a nod to those walks we all take when we need to process, breathe, or simply be. You don’t have to be headed anywhere in particular. Sometimes the walk is the destination.
This piece is quietly introspective. It would feel at home in a hallway, a writing nook, or anywhere you go to reconnect with your thoughts. Whether you see it as nostalgia or possibility, The Road Home reminds us that beauty often lives in the in-between.
