UP WHERE WE BELONG | Original Artwork | Take the First Step

If this artwork speaks to you...

you're probably exceptionally good at preparing. You research. You compare. You make lists. Sometimes you even make lists about the lists. You're not waiting until tomorrow. You're waiting for the right moment. Slight problem...

It still hasn't RSVP'd. You'd happily take the first step. You'd just like a written guarantee that everything will work out first. Life has always been rather unhelpful in that department. Perhaps you're not waiting for courage. Perhaps you're waiting for certainty.

And that's a train that rarely arrives.

Where are you on your journey?

You're here: Taking the first step.

Not because all your doubts have disappeared. Simply because your hope has finally become stronger than your fear.

If you're curious why you've known your next step for quite some time...

yet somehow keep postponing it - then THE POINT OF NO RETURN may be exactly where your journey wants to continue.

Together we'll explore what's really holding you back - not so you can become fearless, but so you can stop waiting for the perfect moment that never quite seems to arrive.

Why this artwork came to life

Some films entertain you. Others quietly stay with you for life. An Officer and a Gentleman has always been one of mine.

Not because of the uniform. Not even because of the romance. Because nothing meaningful happens by accident.

🗝️You don't have to know how the story ends. You only have to take the first step.

Every beautiful ending in that story has to be earned. There are setbacks. Doubts. Difficult choices. And eventually - someone decides to move anyway.

While "Up Where We Belong" played in the background, this artwork slowly emerged. Perhaps that's why it still reminds me that the best chapters of our lives rarely begin once we feel ready.

They begin the moment we stop waiting.

Your Companion

For this stage of your journey, I recommend the FORREST GUMP | Blanket.

Not to remind you to be perfectly prepared, but to remind you that every extraordinary journey quietly begins with one ordinary step.

Perhaps this is your next step...

Once you've taken that first step something surprising happens. You realise it wasn't the hardest part after all. Keeping going is.

Perhaps that's why FORREST GUMP will be the next artwork quietly waiting for you.

If you want to be the first...

✨ UP WHERE WE BELONG is not yet available as a blanket - but if you want to do more than just look at this feeling - you want to feel it: Drop me a line. Then we’ll bring it off the canvas - and into your life.
