Claire Bigbee | Ebb and Flow | Oil | 12" X 24" | $1595

 

Waves hold a deep symbolism that goes beyond their physical appearance. They can represent many concepts, from life's ebb and flow to nature's power and strength.


"Waves are often used as metaphors for change and transformation," explains Bigbee. "The rhythmic rise and fall of waves represent the cyclical nature of life, where periods of growth and upheaval are followed by moments of calm and restoration. This symbolism is often associated with personal growth and navigating life's challenges."

While painting in Ogunquit, Bigbee picked a preferred painting spot. She walked over the footbridge to see the waves and decided that was her spot for the afternoon.

"It was frigid windy, and my easel and canvas were unstable, so I dropped my canvas on the ground and started painting the waves. Painting in the cold was challenging, and the wind was freezing my fingers, but I couldn't drag myself away."

"As time passed, I noticed the waves of grief becoming smaller and less frequent," says Bigbee. "Like the ocean's waves, grief comes and goes. I rode the emotional tides and looked forward to better times ahead. Like all things, the better returned."


This show runs until July 17.
