Introducing "Safely Home," a captivating piece that brings the serene beauty of the coast right into your living space. This artwork measures 11x14 inches on a thin canvas and has been meticulously crafted using oil over mixed media.
 
At its heart, the piece features a lighthouse standing proud near the center left, a timeless emblem of guidance and safety. The classic design of the lighthouse, with its lantern room, evokes a sense of familiarity and comfort. Beside it sits a quaint house, adding warmth and a touch of domesticity to the scene.
 
Floating over this picturesque setting is a large compass rose, clearly marked with cardinal directions (N, S, E, W). This addition not only enhances the nautical theme but also invites viewers to ponder ideas of navigation and exploration.
 
Adding another layer of interest, two vibrant birds with striking blue wings and white bodies are artfully positioned; one perches confidently on the compass while the other soars in the lower right corner, bringing life and movement to the composition.
 
The background is awash in warm hues of yellow and orange, capturing the enchanting glow of a sunrise or sunset. Meanwhile, the foreground features abstract, multi-colored patterns that provide depth and complexity, drawing the viewer into the scene.
 
"Safely Home" is more than just a piece of art—it's a narrative of homecoming, guidance, and exploration, beautifully conveyed through its harmonious elements and rich colors.
