When to let go and have faith that the tide will carry you to your destination? When to battle the waves and go against the current? What if your oar is gone? This painting is about letting go of control and having faith that the tide will carry you to your destination.

The day after I finished this painting, I read a poem by Emily Dickinson - she was pondering using a similar theme in 1656! As always, my painting is hopeful. Her poem is beautifully heavy.
