This scene was painted from life at Lochearnhead, Scotland, where I originally planned for a calm painting session. However, the weather had other ideas. As the rain poured and the wind blew, the landscape transformed into something unexpected—a beautiful vista, different from what I had imagined. Misty layers enveloped the mountains, making them disappear behind a foggy haze, and bursts of rain became part of the painting, adding unique textures to the layers. I love the thought that nature and I carved this painting together.

This piece is a reminder that, in life, we can have a clear vision of how we want things to unfold, yet life often throws a curveball. The ability to pivot, to be free-flowing like water, and to find beauty and growth in unexpected challenges is a powerful skill.

This painting serves as a daily reminder that you are strong and capable of navigating any situation, even if it doesn’t turn out as you planned—and that’s perfectly okay. ‘

Embrace the Unexpected’ is a one-of-a-kind original, and once it’s sold, it’s gone forever.

This painting is on a canvas board and framing is recommended. Worldwide shipping is provided.
