Orange, the second in the series, is Lost.This piece was painted in a season of deep loss. There was a feeling of being exposed—like everything familiar had been shaken—but also a quiet awareness that something within me was still standing. Not untouched, not unchanged, but still here. The tree emerged as a kind of anchor. Bent, moving, surrounded by intensity—but not broken.This painting isn’t about the storm itself. It’s about what remains in the middle of it—the part of us that holds on, even when we don’t know how.Held Through the Storm is an ode to movement, heat, and the restless vitality of nature. A lone tree, sculpted from sweeping strokes of sienna, amber, and flame-like gold, stands at the center of a world entirely transformed by the color orange. The background—alive with swirling oranges and ribbons of white—suggests wind, energy, and the constant shifting of seasons, as if the very air is ignited. Thick impasto blossoms cling to the branches, their texture giving the tree a pulse, a tactile sense of life amid the atmospheric rush surrounding it.Print DetailsPrinted by Lumaprints · Frame not included Quality: Archival-grade giclee — museum-quality, high-definition, professional finish Color: Vibrant, color-accurate, rich tones, superior color gamut Durability: Fade-resistant (100+ years), acid-free, pH-neutral, scratch- and water-resistant Texture: Luxurious, thick, matte surface Canvas option: Gallery wrapped with 1.5" stretcher bars (8×10 uses 1.25" bars).
