Running the river

acrylic on canvas, 20 x 16 inches
Running the river is a metaphor for life. Once you get through the rapid, you look back at your journey to see what you did, and what you could have done differently.

Comment by Michele Paradiso on April 26, 2016 at 3:17: As a white water paddler I can tell you this…When you make it through one rapid..you hope you can take a brief rest in an eddy if your skilled enough to get into one…If not you just make your way through the next rapid and so on…Luckily …the rivers may widen and level in areas, where you can then float for a while……I am also very skilled at "swimming with my boat " for those occasions when I don't quite make it through the rapid. Resilience has many forms !
