The Home Within

10x8in - Mixed Media Oil on Cradled Hardwood

She doesn’t need to call you home.
She simply stands, unwavering,
as if to say: the way back is already inside you.
Even in the wild, you are held.

Sheila’s Note: This was one of the first places I visited before moving here. There’s a stillness around her that feels sacred. I didn’t want to alter it—I just wanted to honor it. This painting is a quiet thank you. For her beauty. For her presence. For letting me stay.
