A Safe Haven is a large statement artwork and is part of the Exploring The Solitary group of paintings.

The inspiration for this piece comes from a poem by Jean Dament – “There are times when I feel like I’m adrift out at sea, Where I’m floating upon life’s troubled waters; And then just in time you’re there to rescue me, Leaving me to wonder why you even bother, But your constant love is like a beacon in plain sight, That keeps me safe through life’s many storms, Ever present you shine your light both day and night, When ever my fears and doubts would consume and leave my soul all torn, Your strength bridges over all empty space Where I could possibly stray, Then I’m no longer frozen in time, but dwell now in a secure place; Because you have given me a Safe Haven, where I shall forever stay.”

In this piece I wanted to continue with solitary but also include that absolute quiet and suspension of time, a feeling of being at peace with yourself – I hope you feel that too with this painting. I enjoy working with a limited but rather vibrant colour palette which I think can work well in a home as a colour accent.

The painting is signed on the front with my name ‘Lucinda’ and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The artworks on gallery style stretched canvas, do not require framing as the colour is continued round the sides, these are ready to hang, however, a box frame on this style of canvas can dress the painting really well.  If you would like the work framed with a floating frame just tick the box!
