Finding Balance – a Pregnancy Painting

Updated: Nov 16, 2020

This is a watercolor painting that I created today called “Finding Balance” and is a pregnancy painting.

The dancer is self-portrait of myself at 8 months pregnant and gracefully balancing all of the aspects of my life. I oftentimes create paintings as sort of a visual mantra – something to help me to visualize the positive outcome that I want in my life. At this time what I really want is to peacefully maintain a sense of balance.

The hand is to remind myself that I am always supported by my Creator in everything I do, no matter how crazy things may feel. I am never alone and there is always a large, loving hand just waiting to catch me if I fall.
