a powerful symbol of transition
where the river flows is a one-of-a-kind original oil painting that showcases the jaw-dropping display of an autumn evening sunset. featuring pine trees and colorful fall foliage against a lively river, the sun's rays highlight a barn owl swooping past the splashing waves. it's been said that seeing an owl at sunset is a powerful spiritual symbol of transition. this painting, along with it's colorful array of foliage, shows us that change can be a beautiful thing - that we need only follow where the river flows and willingly succumb to the currents of life. Nicole Ann chose these visual symbols to reflect the ray of emotions change brings and with it, a gentle reminder that we must appreciate each moment to the fullest while it graces us with its presence.
