Holmes Park #1 and #2 |12x14"

This collection of three mini paintings began with a visit to Holmes Park in Lincoln last year. The artist stood watching a community of ducks moving through the water with an ease that felt almost foreign, swimming carelessly, living together without effort. In that observation came a quiet revelation: this is how humans once lived, rooted in community rather than the isolation of the individual. And with it, a craving, a sense of belonging that feels increasingly rare.ng that feels increasingly rare.
