Where the Heart Returns (2025) is an original oil painting on canvas. The sides of the artwork are finished in genuine copper leaf, presenting a polished and professional finish. This artwork forms part of my small works collection exploring the theme of "Thinking of Home" and measures 10 x 10 cm.
Artwork description
Nestled at the edge of a wildflower field, the small red house stands like a memory, steadfast and radiant. Sunlight dances on its weathered walls, painting it in warmth, while vibrant blooms spill across the earth like laughter from long-forgotten days.
Beyond, the mountains stand watchful and still, guardians of time and silence. A worn path meanders through the flowers, not just a trail in the grass, but a thread, linking the now to the then, the world outside to the soul within.
The scene reminds us that home is not just shelter, it's the place where we are most ourselves. It holds the scent of seasons past, the echo of familiar voices, and the quiet strength of roots that run deep. In a world of constant movement, home is where stillness becomes sacred. It's where love lingers in the walls, where stories settle like dust on windowsills, and where the heart, no matter how far it wanders, always returns.
