Oil on Canvas
30” x 40”
In Going Against the Wind, a mother and daughter press forward through a wet, muddy day in the Sahara Desert - the sky heavy with rain, the wind biting, and not a rest stop in sight. The girl, slouched on a donkey’s back, wears the unmistakable face of exhaustion - the kind that sits deep in the eyes and sinks into the shoulders. Her mother walks beside her, face obscured, silent in her own weight but steady in her steps. This is not a scene of grand triumph but one of quiet persistence. The mud pulls at their feet, the wind pushes against them, and yet they continue. There’s no room here for drama, only the raw truth of survival. The donkey trudges, the mother walks, the girl rides - and all three endure. The painting is layered with grit and grace. It honors the unsung strength of women who carry on despite fatigue, despite hardship, despite everything. It is about moving forward not with ease, but with necessity. Going Against the Wind is a powerful tribute to those whose courage is not loud, but enduring - who walk through storms because there is simply no other choice.
