Hope - Dark, 40" x 30"

Acrylic Paint and Mixed Media on Canvas

Hope is the flicker we cast upon the edge of tomorrow—sometimes a golden glow, sometimes a long shadow—shaped not by what’s ahead, but by how we choose to face it.

For some, it’s a light in the dark—a reason to keep going, to believe that better days are coming.
It lifts, fuels resilience, and gives meaning to the struggle.

But for others, hope can feel like a burden—
a waiting game that hurts when expectations aren’t met,
or a distraction from accepting reality as it is.

How we perceive hope depends on where we stand.
It can be a source of strength…
or a source of sorrow.
