On a wet day in London, I looked through a rain-streaked window and was carried back to childhood in Ireland—sitting at the glass, watching rivulets trace uncertain paths and imagining what lay beyond.

This painting holds that moment: the rain, the light, and the pull towards possibility—the threshold where longing and adventure meet, the first step of any journey.

Oh, how I long to get back on the road.
