The promise is at the top of the stairs in the yellow sunshine, but the wrought iron gate at the bottom is locked - isn’t this just what life throws at us all the time, hmmm, how to get past that gate to climb??? This was my first attempt at painting rocks and it was a bit challenging. This was my father's favorite painting - especially when he was hospitalized at the end of his life. I believe it represented so much for him - heaven at the top of the gate, but also so many struggles with his health over the years, just getting that gate open to climb. . .

The Promise & The Locked Gate, acrylic on canvas board, 18X24
